Anybody get anything cool that is gun-related today?

Slow your roll...there's still work to be done before playtime. You wouldn't happen to be an electrician, would you? I might have space for an electrician.

Not a Electrician dang it. But I can wire anything just may not be up to code.

D*** it! Well, does it count that lt my collection is spread across 3 different houses all in different cities?

A good start. Let me know the addresses of other two houses so I can investigate

Well, hell... That's no superpower. I don't need help doing it wrong...I can do that all by my self! I'm thinking that spot I marked out for you just got erased...

Didn't say it would be wrong just maybe not to code. Electrical codes were implemented by a engineer that took a government job because he sucked as a engineer. Could not make it in the free market so let's give the guy at the bottom of his class a job writing codes for the government.
I have rewired 75% of the electrical on my farm that was put in by a government electrical engineer. If he was not already dead when I bought the farm from his wife I would have probably killed him myself when I did some remodeling. My God it was horrendous, fire hazard deluxe.

Score #2 is a Gill-gun. However, this is NOT a model 6 or 87.

It is a Stevens 76. This model was only available before WW2 and uses the 1930s design. It's basically the precursor to the model 87.

I've had my eye out for one for several years and this is the first one I've seen. This one needs a little work, but shouldn't be difficult to get it running again.

Got it running. Had to replace both extractors. Thankfully it uses the same extractors as the Model 87 and I had extras.

It's a Gill-gun, but not a Click-clack.

I can show you how to switch on neutral. After the light fixtures… That was just one fun find of many in my remodel. I would never thought to wire up lights that way.

It's gun related... The new gun room is now insulated.

Dehumidifiers next or Sheetrock? Nice foam job! You going to paint the foam?

I already have a dehumidifier. I'm probably gonna put some sort of wood sheeting up so I can easily hang stuff from it. Probably paint it then. Haven't decided on the particulars yet.

RE: the foam. The guys were out here from 8:30 yesterday morning until 9:30 last night doing that. I don't have good lighting out there (obviously, since there's no power) so I couldn't look it over really good. I went out today with a gauge and found most of the foam was only about 1" thick...and I paid for 2". I called the company up today and the guy didn't hesitate...said he be back out next Monday, we'd look it over and he'd spray until I was happy. Fair enough. I like the idea of the foam. But it's REALLY expensive and makes a helluva mess. Some places have to be "shaved" down and there's lots of overspray, even with things covered. But it adds a lot of structural integrity, soundproofing, moisture barrier and of course, insulation. I think I'm really gonna like it.

Should match my Q well
