Firearms bullshit

Right? Even *I* haven't shot myself yet.

Word to the wise, be careful when you put a single action revolver into a holster. The edge of said holster can catch the hammer causing the gun to go off

Yeah I could see that. Need to break my dad's out of the safe one of these days.

Thursday!

Thursday!

I'll see what I can do. Hasn't been shot since long before my dad died. I'm sure it needs a once over.

Nah. Rim fires are pretty basic white girls

I'm sure it needs some oil and a cleaning. For comparison my dad's been dead 16 years. I don't think I've actually shot it since I was like 15, that was 25 years ago. Haha.

It’s a rimfire?

I wouldn't sweat it as long as the bores clear. My best rimfire gun is a 100 + year old Remington model 4 that hasn't seen a bore brush in at least 30 years

Probably

I guess we can make it a “shoot daddy’s old ruger” range day

Unfortunately I don't have too much history on it. Likely from the 70s, maybe late 60s. Was pretty clean. My dad may have cleaned it at some point. I honestly have no idea if he ever took it out shooting again after the time he took me. The 90s were great, he used to shoot blanks in the back yard to scare the cats out of the yard, haha. Do that shit now the swat team will be at your door in 5 minutes.

Nice. I'd like to pass this one down to the kid some day. Of course he's already got full dibs on my guns, but the revolver is technically my mom's still.

Still needs some oil on the ejection rod, but otherwise shoots exactly like I remember.

That's the nice thing about revolvers. They don't really get fucked up unless they rust. Leave them loaded in a safe for half a century and they will work like they did when it was put in the safe. I want a .22 revolver. Such great guns to take shooting.

Love me some revolvers.
