    Yeah.. but what a nice mess it is to have to need to clean up... considering the alternative that could be in CA should the anti-gun lawmakers ever get their way... only registered, fluorescent orange, non-surgical tubing, sling shots allowed

      It is part of the fun/hobby. I quite enjoy it. Although, I don't have a lot of spare time so I have a hard time starting a project unless I can get it done in the same day.

        Its amazing how much stuff of "yours", that I've accumulated with this hobby. I see the whole plan now, I've run out of room, so I'll tell Trap it needs work, then I can store it over there till it's fixed.
        The 1917 stock finally dried, my furnace took some time off, so it was a bit chilly here.

          Ha I have to do them one by one

          Ok sounds good...curious how it turns out.

          Yeah it is fun going thru and finding stuff. Im amazed at things I put away doing a quick clean up. Mostly ammo and parts...its like Christmas in the closets...and also some wtf was I thinking when I find some of it.

          I still have ammo from grandfather, dad, and my teens My uncle pulled out brick remington .22 in the green dog bone boxes...I gave him some shiny new stuff instead

            Trap if you fix them faster then he has to take them back quicker - or you could start charging rent for them.

            You should be down here in So Cal, it's over 80 degrees and humidity has been so low that a glass of ice water barely sweats (if at all). It's a bummer though because it's supposed to be winter, not summer.

              Found missing mag for .22 Romanian bolt action trainer! Been looking forever.

              I bought it at Big 5 about 20 years ago for 69.00 then lost its clip few years ago..it had gotten in with the .45 magazines

                The garage at Casa Ricigliano is a whiskey tango nightmare of parts, ammo cans, empty rifle cases, and mountains of just stuff that is gun related. (Guns are secured of course!)

                  I think most of us have a mess of stuff at TRAPS. I will gladly pick up mine when they get finished.

                  As for the mess at home yea I got one too. I will get to it when I get a better storage solution for all the little stuff.

                      Its a great hobby! I actually have most of what I want and can start getting a handle on all the "other" stuff that comes with collecting.( fooling myself here there is always something else)

                      Now to get into reloading

                      We should get Trap a drive up kiosk where you can drive in and drop off projects, like the old photo drop off places.

                        That wouldn't work as the line would be to long. Trap would still be talking to the first customer who pulled up when it was time to close.

                          Yes - the guns are easy to store and clean, they're fun - this is what stubs your toe.

                            w55, reloading is where it's at for these old guns. You can make your ammo for significantly less in most cases and have more accurate ammo too. It's a worthwhile investment in your shooting enjoyment.

                            I like your idea of the drive up kiosk. One of the old Kodak huts would like nice just off the road by the driveway.
