I left this rifle at my dad's about 9yrs ago. We got him a Marlin XS7C 308 and he's now done with my Winchester. He used it regularly but didn't take very good care of it. Here are a few pictures of some rust areas I now need to address. the most problematic areas appear to be under the rear...

it's got character out the wazoo. it doesn't need to look new and i like guns that scream "I'm no safe queen!" I just want to arrest its decline. there's a gouge in the wood forend that snags gloves and rifle bags i want to fix also. I'll put some photos in a new thread soon.

sad news. it's nice that there were loved ones with her when she left.

we had a pretty good Thanksgiving. my parents came to Louisville from Dallas and my wife cooked an awesome turkey (first time in 22yrs). my dad brought me a rifle that I left at his house 9yrs ago. it was a NIB Winchester 94 30-30 that I had won. he's an avid hog hunter and over the past 9yrs...

I'd just clean it. I wouldn't change the cosmetics at all. It has a nice "lived in" look.

my packs need to go in the oven about every 3-4 months.

I was mostly asking if there's any material that would be better or worse over a period of time for your handgun to be in contact with. (vinyl, cotton, wool, wood, foam, polyester, paper etc). I keep desiccants in the boxes already.

the Internet doesn't lie. ;)

I have drawer size boxes so there's not room for hangars. right now they law on silicone treated wool wipe in one box and straight cloth in another. both have silica packs in them and I'm sure what're silicone the wool was treated with is long gone. the boxes came with foam padding but I was...

A question for those of you that keep HD guns in a small safe.... Do you set your gun on bare metal, rubber mat, wool/poly/cotton rag, something else? Just wondering if some materials slow corrosion better than others.

thx for the review. and comparing it to the N82 Pro was very helpful.

a lot. and a shirt sleeve size cleaning patch.

That one is 50BMG. surprisingly comfortable to shoot. The barrel moves about 2" inside the chassis on 2 huge springs and the muzzle brake is extremely effective (it rolled up the shooting mats on either side of me). The stroke is also so long that it's more of a slow shove to the shoulder than...

That would've made a good before/after photo op.

That's actually 1 gun taken down. When assembled its as big as the table. (Barrett M82A1) - borrowed from a friend. Fired it 20 times yesterday for the bargain price of $4 a bullet. I don't know if my cleaning rod is long enough but I think my son's arm may actually fit in the barrel. ;)

anyone in Louisville about 5 gallons of it? fired about $300 yesterday followed up by a range-side BBQ. perfect day. so after church today, it's football and gun cleaning. that actually doesn't sound so bad now that I think about it.

i read the cigarette tax is about to go to almost $7 also. political issues aside, Gary Indiana is just down the road.

will do.

good info. thx.

I'm kind of new to the AK type but its my understanding that only the AK type shotguns have the trigger relocated to the rear because the original config of those shotguns is with a monte carlo type stocks and there would be no way you could reach the trigger with that setup without moving it...
