No doubt the gent there is smart about keeping armament, but is there some risk in keeping all those things laying about that go bang....old and whatnot?

My uncle kept his footlocker up in the rafters of our garage in California, gear from his time in the service during WW2. When a kid I'd check it out when nobody was home, all kinds of cool stuff in there. He had his side arm 45 in there and an Italian pistol that he brought back. He also had clips and ammo. The stuff was pretty green moldy looked and smelled. I tried to fire the Italian gun once, but it wouldn't. I was skeered to try the 45, the stubby fat bullets looked powerful and the gun was heavy, I thought with the gun and ammo so old in that state, something could go awry.

I called a gun shop to see if the'd look at the Italian pistol so it could fire, it was a cool looking gun. When the guy asked me how old I was and I told him twelve, he said that I better not be touching that gun, then he hung up. :guns: Eventually my uncle turned it into the cops.
 
Jim,

Nice... I need to get my reloading set up this year.
Kinda liking this 327 mag. Fast accurate little round.
Be nice when I can reload for my .40
New SP101 .357 should be coming home soon :)
 
If that is your camp gun Scott, have you thought about the tritium sights? Love them on my 40. Was nice to step out of the tent with commotion going on out side and can site right in.
 
Yes...I want to get some tritium and get rid of target sites fo sho ;)

Its stupid I cant set the rear site any lower, it shoots way high...need to loose em :/:
