~A loved gun~

Ron Smith · 05-20-2008, 09:42 PM

I have been a gun nut since I can remember. I've done gun repair and stock repair. I've built custom hunting rifles and customized them for others.

I've spent way too much time hanging around gun shops, working in gun shops, hunting and shooting. All you need for proof is my wife's word.

Every once in a while you'll run across an old gun that just has character, and almost talks to you. It will have it's own warm personality and you can tell that someone who owned it at one time, thought that it was like having a good dog on a sunny day.

To me this old Savage is one of those old guns. Crude, but done by hands that thought it was the neatest thing they had ever owned.

To quote my dad....

"I like to look at it, cause it makes me feel good."

I don't think I have ever bought a gun that I didn't like the look of !
Guns are an ergonomic art form , they have to look right , feel right, and
fulfill their intended purpose. They have to last a long time . Thats why Lugers are so special , they fulfill those criteria better than most .
