    So, How Many Little Kids Do We Have Here?

    How many of you take out a firearm on a regular basis, just to fondle, take apart, re-assemble and play with it?

    I do, as often as I can

    Yesterday was PKM day, today is my NDM-86's turn!

    That would be me.
    This is just my opinion and it's entirely correct.

    I admit it. I do it all the time. Over the winter especially... I take a rifle or pistol apart (which hasn't been fired since the last time I cleaned it) and I clean it again. Wipe off the old oil and apply new. Pop in an empty mag and wish it was summer. Take the mag out. Hmmm... maybe the mag needs cleaning too... take them all apart and clean...

    It's an illness. Incurable.

    Well kind of, sorta, I shoot them because it's fun and it's an excuse to have to clean them. Going to do it again today.

    Guilty!!

    I am often amazed that when I take a firearm out of a safe after it has sat for about a year or so, and run a cleaning patch through it, I get more gunk out. And I always clean my firearms before putting them away!

    The nice thing about taking a firearm out of the safe and taking it apart, re-oiling it and just fondling it is that the others don't get jealous and rebel, or call me names, or sulk around all day, or ...

    One of the first things I do with a new firearm is take it apart a few times just to familiarize myself with the internals.

    Since I don't shoot as much as I used to, I take them out, clean them off, oil them, and fondle them. It's kind of like sex, if you don't get it regularly, you...uh...uh...nevermind.

    I take mine apart all the time, especially my handguns.

    Guilty... at least once a day with a rifle or pistol. Seemingly especially with my USP

    Im also guilty of over cleaning my firearms. But in all case's I like to clean my german K98 nazi mauser the most... why ? because its a real ww2 historic rifle... still shoots 8mm ammo at 1 inch @ 100yards. But i stare at it an wonder what kind of brave german solider took this weapon to war an how did he die ? were did he die ? Im very proud of my k98 mauser the most even more than a glock or a ak47.

    With my "goto" guns that are placed around the house, I do periodic walk-thrus to make sure my muscle memory is still in tact. Touching your guns regularly will make them become one with your hands. You'll pick them up, and they'll do exactly what you want them to do, simply because you've made them an extension of your own body...

    Funny how we change over the years. A few years back disassembly and reassembly kvinnfolks was #1 hobby. Now firearms.... Firearms dont get mad when you disagree with them and kick them in the cabinet. They dont cry when you find another one. And they are all funny to use...... Beer goes the same way. So I say, firearms, beer and then females.

    I do it all the time, been playing with my enfield carbine almost the whole time I've been sitting here (though I did fiddle with the makarov and mossy 935 for a bit). I hardly get to shoot the things, so sitting here and pretending is a subsitute.

    Guilty... It's a constant rotation so all of them get a little attention.
