Its hard to admit to laziness. But generally not a day goes by i don't shoot something. Whither it's even a chipmunk with the pellet rifle or usually a gray squirrel headed for the bird feeders. But many firearms in many locations never get the cleaning they should. So today I took the time to clean and oil them all. Even the ones in the safes. Attached is a photo of a stevens model 77F in .410 gauge. My dad traded a 12' john boat when I was twelve yrs old for it. Chambered in 3" , I used it with slugs for deer and hundreds of #4 shot went thru it for birds and squirrels.
Mother was shopping today so I took it easy. Lots of good memories of whitetails while cleaning each rifle. A Remington 7600 pump carbine i bought in '86 and hasn't had a box of shells thru it, my nephew tells me they sell for $1500.-$2000. Now. Unbelievable really.

I love my electric Black Powder rifle. Not sure I'll ever get rid of it... super quite, basically the trigger is two electrical contacts... Safety is about the same, really quite! Need to dust off the guns and shoot them up... but then I'll need to clean them (which is time consuming).
