Overheard at the gun counter....

Sounds like a DISCHARGE about to happen.

Not smart.

I got my ass kicked by a big fella last week because I showed his wife how an inverted trigger pull causes her to discharge

It works, if you know what your doing.

Intentional discharge is totally different than accidental discharge or ignorance discharge.

I'm headed there tomorrow. Should I tell them?

Wasn’t the gun counter, but instead behind the trap line. Me and another dad discussing our kids new (to them) Beretta shotguns they got for Christmas. Local know it all/gun shop owner/wannabe gunsmith comes over and tells the other dad that his sons over/under is too tight for him and to bring it to the shop, he’ll “fix it” when asked what it needed he said “it just needs some taken off, I’ll hit it with the dremmel and get it right”

Said “gunsmith” then proceeded to go back to swapping out parts and guns on his sons every other shot (currently on the trap line) so that their guns could make it through the 25 shots.

It's NEW, it better be tight.

REAL gunsmiths love Dremel tools. They get lots of work from idgets that own them.

Well, seems like the the ‘gunsmith’ was trained in the red light district by the well seasoned professionals. Loose tolerances and you must be very liberal with the lube.

That reminds me of a time I was at a guitar seminar in a guitar store, and I was looking at a really nice Taylor hanging on the wall near the ceiling slightly behind me and to my left. Another guy attending handed me his business card and said, "I can fix that neck." I looked back at the guitar and thought, what's wrong with the neck? I don't see anything wrong with the neck from here? And how can HE tell there's anything wrong with the neck from THERE? And why wouldn't the store owner have already, or get the neck fixed under warranty, so I didn't need HIM to fix the neck? Then I looked at his card. He was a chiropractor, and I guess the way I had my head tilted over and twisted prompted him to offer to fix MY neck. Which just shows, if there's a nice guitar around, my attention is probably more focused on that than my own health and welfare. Which explains why I often mention buying more guitars to my wife....

I was at a chain "outdoor" store in OKC metro on Sunday, and I got a text on my phone while standing beside the gun counter. My text tone is a M1 Garand "ping". Gun counter guy doesn't even hesitate, "Man I know that sound, I've worked in my share of kitchens"

Several years back I had to try to convince a young Tinker airman that it wasn't possible to convert his .22 Mag rifle to .22-250 Remington. No....................seriously!

Even after explaining the difference between a rimfire system and a centerfire system - and the massive pressure difference between the two cartridges - his answer was always the same. "But they're both .22s!"
