OK, I didn’t actually get to shoot anything. <\/p>\n
Firstly, it was raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock when I rolled my ass outa bed, and we decided to go for the shopping side of gun ownership instead.<\/p>\n
Partner is a serious collector in the making, and while I do not have the disposable income to collect, he sometimes does.<\/p>\n
This has a couple of effects. 1: I get to ogle nice antique arms with him. 2: He sometimes buys them. 3: I help him haggle price- we do a kind of a good cop\/bad cop thing that usually gets him at least ten percent. 4: I often get to operate said ordnance, which is a total hoot. <\/p>\n
Today we stopped in at Cabelas and looked at acouple of rifles he’s been ogling Managed to get a decent markdown on a Marine Corps 03 with an oddly nickel plated bolt, and a very lovely Enfield which has the nicest furniture of any enfield I think I’ve ever seen, walnut forestock and matching numbers, and all the better quality stuff without any of the wartime expedient stuff. (sights, etc)<\/p>\n
We then visited Blythes which has a new toy that Partner is very interested in, which shall remain nameless since he fears someone else will take it home before he can; therefore a report on that utensil will have to wait until next week; for if it is there, he will surely take it home and call it George. <\/p>\n
Lastly, instead of hitting the range, I made email arrangements to go meet with Mr B,<\/a> and picked up a couple of Gamma seal lids<\/a> and a couple cans of Strike hold<\/a><\/p>\n I’ve been using the Strike Hold stuff for a while, and I like it a great deal. They don’t show it on the website yet but they have little non-aerosol squirt bottles now, and i immediatly filled the oiler in my M1 carbine with mine. It’s awesome to be able to use it and not have to spray it in a cup first.<\/p>\n Mr B has a boatload of way cool toys, and I am utterly envious; however like all entrepreneurs he makes his own hours; all of them. I do not envy him that. <\/p>\n And Midwest Chick makes a mean chocolate chip cookie, yes indeedy she does. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OK, I didn’t actually get to shoot anything.
