Guess you are a gun nut also. I have an 1891
Argentine Mauser bolt
action (7.65x54mm), an 94' Winchester lever action in cal. 30-30, a
Reminton Viper in .22, and a .380 Llama blowback pistol. All are very
nice. The Mauser will pierce a 1/2 inch steel plate with no sweat. I
was impressed. I haven't shot it much though. It hurts and the rounds
(San Francisco is what they are called) are hard to find outside of gun
shows. Even then they are mostly military surplus. I've not had any
mis/hangfires but I bet I will with 50+ year old ammo.
I always find it interesting that computer types would also be gun
nuts. I've got a 1942 Soviet Musen Nagent (Spelling?) 7.62x54R, a 1970s
era Savage 30-06, and a .380 handgun. Cabela's has a good stock of
various odd ammunition sizes, including 7.62x54R.
I use a military grade gun oil on my weapons and for lubricating old
printer head guide rails.
As far as blasting old computer hardware, more often than not I feel
like killing the new stuff instead.
