[GunnyGene]

Interesting story about a guy who swaps fresh lobster for old guns. Got some nice ones.

I don't know, I like lobster... but a gun, regardless of it's age, can last forever... a lobster last me about 5 or 10 minutes....

Sounds like my wife.We rode the motorcycle from Arkansas to Maine,just so she could have a real Maine lobster.
Myself,I wouldn't walk across the street for one.!

They only last forever if they just sit , Working guns get worn out over time.
I know this because I spent 30 years working in the gun industry ,retail and Rep.
Many times I had to tell someone that it was to worn out to repair , that they could buy a new one for a lot less than its going to cost to repair , Sometimes they would insist we do it, then I'd insist they leave a hundred dollar
deposit and would give them a written estimate then they could make a decision. If they decide not to do it there's a two hour labor charge (35.00 hr shop time) for the Gunsmiths time . I'd always get a kick out of the look on their faces when I told them the rate , They say ''Why so high'' I tell them your paying for a skilled craftsman , try getting a plumber or electrician or any skilled work you'll pay way more

A wise man once said: "A gun is real property with a purpose (or two). Heck I just rent food..."

My wife loves lobster (so do I) AND she knows the combination to the gun safe. Her guns and jewelry are in there too! But the WWI/II surplus guns are now
gone, except for 1 Colt 1917 :-( .......
