#1 The OP clearly said he wanted feedback from people who enjoy guns so you were not invited to join
#2 It was you who first insulted anyone who has a gun as being low IQ with your anti gun opinion

Thank you and welcome to the thread. Actually this fool huskylover is on ignore and I have no desire to read his postings nor care what he posts. He is a big nothing, a none item to me. His banning is right around the corner, and props to Cendell for her work and efforts in containing him and his other dozen or so user names.

Respect is simple. I am not here to be abused by you. To call me a big nothing or an idiot is not at all proper etiquette or how you treat someone who has done nothing to harm you or hurt you in anyway. Hence my gun diatriabe. You sound unhinged. I don’t trust you with any weapon. Please refrain from calling me names. Thank you

I keep my firearms (guns are things like howitzers and battleship guns) cleaned, oiled and I go to the range about once a month to keep my skills up.
Yes your brain is the best thing to use in tense situations, but having the ability to be "Tactically Compliant" and waiting till the right moment to use your weapon.

I ordered a new set of handles for my Anaconda. The standard grips just don't match the beauty of the weapon. I got some Colt redwood handles, which should greatly improve the beauty of the gun.

Going to the Auctions....
Lee Enfield No.4 Mark 1(T) .303
Very good condition.
Original Scope (the 32)
WW2 paratrooper on D-Day
The rifle I learned on and collected wolf bounties with.
The scope factory setting was 300 yds.
The paratrooper had it set for 450.
I dropped wolfs at 300+ lung shot, and just under 500 yds shoulder shot.
A fully operational museum piece with WW2 history simply does not deserve to hang on his granddaughters wall getting dusty. So...
The Auctions

Sword, Gold, or Juno on 6/6/44? Or did the history of that weapon go that much in detail?

Paratrooper, chuted in.
He wouldn't discuss his kills.
His dad told us to let that line of thought alone.
They landed in NW Normandy to secure a couple river bridges on the Allies northwest flank.

In the movie The Longest Day, Richard Todd played a British officer who parachuted in to hold a bridge until relieved. I wonder if the real soldier who owned the rifle was a part of this brigade. Ironically Richard Todd was a war hero.

There were Brit, Canadian, and American paratroopers.
Some writeups of those landings emphasize that the village street fighting that occurred upon landing is the precursor to what is now called urban warfare.
A couple parts of the Tom Hanks movie come to mind as well.

Quite a few of that generation did heroic things in the war, then returned to do extraordinary things in peace time with most never knowing what studs they were before.
I got to meet the father of a friend, who is mentioned in the book by Cornelius Ryan, A Bridge Too Far. He lived here in Houston. His son never knew what kind of a man his father was until I explained his medals one day to him after his fathers passing.
Two of Texas most famous football coaches had distinguished themselves in military service before becoming famous. Tom Landry did 30 combat missions as a pilot in B-17s over Europe. Bum Phillips was a Marine Raider who found himself on Vangunu, outnumbered 10-1, his unit ran out of ammo and had to fight hand to hand to survive. He also fought on a little known island called Guadalcanal.
Texas Medal of Honor recipient Audie Murphy played himself in a movie about his service.
Lee Marvin, a badass actor spent a year learning how to walk again after being wounded on Saipan, one of his 21 amphibious landings as a Marine Scout Sniper.
Jimmy Stewart, another badass movie actor, retired as a brigadier general, flying combat missions in B-24s over Germany, cold war missions in the B-47 and B-52s, even a combat mission over Viet Nam.
James Doohan, Scotty on Star Trek was wounded during the Normandy invasion while serving in the Canadian army.
Want to see another bad ass, check out Ben Schwartzwalder's war record before he coached Jim Brown, Ernie Davis (1st Black man to win the Heisman Trophy) Larry Csonka and a bunch of others as head football coach at Syracuse University.
This list could go on for days......................
