i was going thru my inventory last night. wiping things down, putting them away. my stuff looks very used. both my deer rifles, i\'ve fallen off small cliffs with them strapped to my back. my shotguns; wading thru briar patches..my face or arms versus using the shotgun to lead me thru the branches..i go for the shotgun all the time.
we got to a HUGE bunch of quail they were surrounded by Mesquite and stuff. we crawled thru. my brother was pushing a over/under Winchester Model 101 (100?) ahead of him. me a beaten Remmy 1100 that i grew up with. tools. we got to the other side, reloaded and blasted away. super fun. but our firearms..sheesh.
i have a buddy that wont let people touch the blued steel on his guns. he wipes them with silk diapers or something. i\'ll die someday. i dont want a safe full of guns that someone will get and savour..if they get my guns, they will be patina\'d.
i dont worry about resale value. (i\'m the same with cars..i am not \"Saving\" it for the next owner)..i just clean them, wipe them down and put them away so they will work the next time i need them to. you?
oh..my bow looks horrid. most of it isnt my fault, ELITE didnt get the best coating on them. just using it chips the coating. the \"new bow look\" went away very quickly. i am gonna tape some of the serious hotspots with GAFFER\'s tape to protect them some.
