Serial numbers, in case of theft.
One of those things I’ve never needed but should have.
OK, write ‘em down but keeping that notebook in the safe isn’t the thing to do, and as years go by where did that notebook go?
Same thing with an electronic copy, what did I call that list and what hard drive was it on?
Others’ MMV Consider a safe deposit box through a credit union to store pictures and serial numbers. I pay $20 a year for a safe deposit box through my CU. My bank was over triple that for the same size box.

Not a gun hang up but a tactical shooter hang up. I taught tactical shotgun for many years. Cannot stand the ignorant pr*<€ s who refer to a shotgun as a shottie or “the gauge”. I warned them if they used those terms they’d fail. Some didn’t believe me and ended up reshooting at the end of the day. Didja wear a red cap and yell alot? mike r

The idea that a rifle barrel has to be cleaned to within an inch of its life or it is considered dirty....bothers me. Total agreement ☝🏽 on this. I was a fanatic about clean barrels until I had a long conversation with a former special forces shooter who called BS on the excessive cleaning methodology. After a lot of questions by me on wtf are you talking about? He simply said - “The barrel will tell you when it needs to be cleaned by how it’s shooting”. “Unless the barrel is soaking wet or full of mud and needs the hose”. “Just wet a cleaning square with your favorite cleaning solution”. “Run the patch thru a couple of times - wait a few minutes - then run dry patches down the tube until the patches come out clean”. I’m haven’t looked back since, and my rifles all shoot great, until they don’t. Then I follow the above for cleaning and it’s back to regular scheduled programming. 🦫

Good call. I don’t mind a longer barreled rifle but can’t stand heavy profile barrels or stocks thick in wrist or with a lot of tight pistol grip for a sporter rifle meant to be carried. I’m 6’3” but would rather adjust and square up to a shorter LOP most of the time than deal with a long LOP assuming that it isn’t a scoped big thumper with limited eye relief.

Cleaning shotguns. Particularly fussing over the barrel(s). Its an explosion in a tube that flings a couple dozen rocks out the end. Pretty hard to fu.ck it up.

Mine is two-barreled guns, three-barreled guns, and four-barreled guns and not being able to afford them, now especially. Drives me nuts sometimes.

Sometimes I like to show up for a class looking as much like Elmer Fudd as possible and not let on I’m the instructor. Makes the tactacool wannabes crazy.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Mounting scopes! Necessary evil but it drives me crazy trying to determine if the cross hairs are perfectly level.

AussieGunWriter: After nearly six decades (nearly 60 years!) of seeing the harm that "leather holsters" due to pistols and revolvers I no longer subject my handguns to that type abuse - not for carry, not for storage, not for nothin! Leather holsters look good and smell good and can be pretty good at retention but the harm they do is NO longer tolerated by me. In fact I have been selling off my leather holsters of recent and still have 30+ to sell. There are just to many great options for concealed carry, carry and storage that won't harm and devalue ones pistols. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

I don’t store any of my knives in leather sheaths. I’ve always heard that leather retains moisture and that the chemicals used to tan the leather can be harmful but have never left one in leather long enough to find out. Between that and being harder on bluing. I stick to kydex but love the look of leather sheaths and holsters. My only leather holster is a Milton 1911 holster with a hand carved Mexican floral pattern. I bought it for its looks but generally only use it for limited range use or stomping around in the woods.
