If they're already beat up, why not keep after it with them?

That's my thoughts too. That and I'm not going to live forever and I don't care how nice my firearms are for whoever ends up with them


I'm not surprised to see that others besides me don't understand your reluctance to hunt your wood stocked rifles.

But this puzzles me even more.

I view rifles very differently than this, and I believe many others that post regularly on this forum do too.

Given your level of interest in them, I can't help but wonder why you even view and post here?




You can like and be interested in a lot of guns without really wanting to or having to own them. Or seeing your own as more than tools.
