Can a person on the receiving end see tracers coming in? I always wondered about that.

No generalization intended, but one of the strangest people that I have ever met in my life was a gunsmith.....a Munchkin wizard that seemed oblivious to other people in his presence and seldom spoke. His specialty was restoring old guns, of which he had them coming in from all over the...

That looks dangerous.

Thanks. I understand that from a collector's perspective, being in the original state adds value, and that is true with a lot of things. Classic bicycles is one, a rough without any alteration state preferred over a prettier refinished one, in many cases. Original has a kind of romance, it seems.

It appears to me that the finish on the stock now is likely not original. I wouldn't argue with the objectivity of the concept, but it depends on what your definition of "looking better" is, but I have done some refinishing on stocks....many coats of a mix of hand applied and polished oils that...

The stock looks in real good shape too, but maybe the forestock could use some refinishing? In one photo it looks in better condition than in another.

I don't know much about guns, but i would sure know a lot more if I didn't live in such a gun repressive society. ;) Looking at the Kel-tec website, they make a number of interesting looking guns.

Would it do any harm to the value to lightly oil the wood parts to bring out the depth of sheen? Rather than a heavier finishing oil, you can just take some walnuts and crush them up and wrap in a thin cloth, then rub back and forth over the wood, imparting some oil. Polish with a soft cloth...

You have to think that when humans get to a point where they don't take an active interest in their own self preservation, high tech gadgets aside, intelligence has regressed to a point of even before our ancient ancestor crawled out of the primordial ooze.

At least just don't stare at your cell phone when walking around in town, like so many people I see.

Staying out of trouble..... A sudden confrontation is one thing, but when I'm in a city, I try to pay attention to what is going on around me. If I eat out, before walking to my car in a parking lot, I scan the scene, look for undesirable possibilities, that kind of thing. Sometimes if I am...

No guns possible, I'm just waiting on a thread about using clubs for self defense when the sh@t hits the fan.. Gladiators. :evil:

Hunting is allowable to some degree, participation in competition shooting clubs, that kind of thing. If you shoot a Panda, they take your gun away, and possibly your life too.

The Chinese have an unusual gun culture. One of the largest manufacturers of guns in the world, but strong penalties prevents citizens from owning guns in the main. There is a lot of illegal gun trafficking going on, and crimes using guns are increasing, so the general public has a growing...
