The idea that a rifle barrel has to be cleaned to within an inch of its life or it is considered dirty....bothers me. How often do you shower?

.....
If there is another, it is case trimming but I found a Lyman electric trimmer and that saved me.
.... I hate trimming brass. Mainly the time it takes. I don't really enjoy reloading, the end product is what I enjoy. I guess tied to the above is time. I like to shoot and I like to hunt. 3 kids, all play sports, 2 jobs, farm and farm upkeep.....those things I enjoy, but they take time. Gun stuff other than shooting and hunting that takes "time" away from the time shooting and hunting is a hang up for me. Even if it's something gun related that I enjoy, I don't enjoy it as much because of the time it takes. Last hang up would be my personal curiosity. I like to try various firearms, accessories, etc. I usually have a pretty good idea if I'll like/dislike something before ever touching it....but curiosity gets me and I want hands on and to put it to use. A lot of precious time and a lot of $ goes to satisfying my curiosity on things I don't need but I want to try "just to see".

Remington safeties /or lack thereof. I prefer safeties that block the firing pin and ignore the trigger. Like a Model 70, Ruger MkII, Mauser 98, Kimber 84/8400 etc.... Yes, my only Remington has snapped when taking the safety off.

What gets up your nose, but you have to do it? The distance I have to drive now to a decent rifle range.
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

All these XYZ names for new cartridges.

My hangup would be fools who mix alcohol and hunting/shooting. Really any kind of careless or reckless behavior around a loaded gun. We have a hard enough time holding on to our rights, and joe 6 pack taking his buddy shooting and drinking is a bad situation waiting to get worse.

I loathe cleaning revolvers.
I also feel the need to hand load to get the best accuracy, but I truly hate the whole process.

Mounting scopes! Necessary evil but it drives me crazy trying to determine if the cross hairs are perfectly level. I'm with you, brother!

Not so much a gun hang up but a people hang up. The Wana b oPerAtOr who picks up the AR off the rack and proceeds to hold it with goofy arse over the barrel support arm stretched out straight hold. WTF is that ? And which one of you fIrEArMs InSTrucTors are teaching this? I asked the same thing of a local instructor and he said that crap originated in the 3-gun competition crowd.

I loathe cleaning revolvers. Agreed. Sheer drudgery at the police academy back in the day.
