Thread: Show us your naughty toys before Stalinda gnaws on them!!

Seeing that lineup causes me to reflect on how seriously fucked up the legislative changes are. There is a pleasure seeing firearms like those and that pleasure, like the firearms themselves is not in the least bit sinister. To me they are an art form to be admired and enjoyed, much the same as admiring and enjoying Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa in the Louvre. What a fucking mindless shame it is to destroy them in the naive and insanely stupid belief that doing so will make this country and its citizens safer.

I see the mechanical engineering in firearms, just like a kid going to MOTAT and gawking at some old steam powered flywheel etc. It is a marvelous thing to hold and shoot something that interests the mind.
Rotating bolts, gas pistons, impingement, ejectors, extractors, triggers. It is endless.
Then we have reloading, casting, long range and all the associated headaches that go with it, short range fast stuff and the skill the different skill necessary.
Old stuff, and researching what all the stampings mean.
Oh and Black Powder....... dont ever forget that messy friend! so much fun (until cleaning time)
Unfortunately we cannot reload Sabot rounds anymore, and I had not even had the chance to try

Iron sights, red dots, fancy glass and all sorts of things to try.
