Firearm information for the enthusiast
The Real Guns Facebook page was suspended today. Not a surprise, Facebook has been attacking the page and deleting posts for many months. With 2,000,000+ followers and likes, you would think it would deserve a little respect as Facebook, not us, made lots of money selling impressions to their advertisers. […]
08/11/2024 – I promise you I am not preaching, lecturing or offering lessons in life. I write for clarity. It is a way of externalizing thoughts that don’t fit in my head, so I can review them at a more leisurely pace. I am not a Boomer. I was born […]
07/30/2024 – I am really trying to keep up with a weekly publishing schedule. It’s tough. I want to be funny, witty and/or clever, much like Kamala Harris. Unfortunately, I realized neither of us ever were, and we are both about as qualified to be President. Reality is a bummer. […]
Freedom When you’re an old guy, living on your own in the boonies, your life style seems to wander however it chooses. Today was four hours of tractor work, four hours of garden pruning, weeding and mowing the lawn. It was hot out, so the expression “Sweating like a pig” […]

In 1864, the Brooklyn, Bath and Coney Island Railroad extended its service to Coney Island, and to the area’s handful of small beach resort hotels, and began investing heavily in Coney Island’s development. By […]
06/23/2021 – A second bike has been added to the garage. Purchased as a new, left over 2023 CFMoto 300NK, with a really big discount, I can now ride down to the lake fishing, run some very local errands and practice skills drills at under 200 MPH. It seems the […]
06/16/2024 – I know, this week was supposed to be Part II of the Winchester Featherweight 6.8 Western series. Fortunately, I have lots of excuses. Predominately… is there a postdominately? Neither the new set of reloading dies, or factory ammunition, or brass arrived until this past Tuesday. That did not […]
June 9, 2024 – I was thinking, once I announced there would be only one more year of Real Guns®, I would be free to write creatively, and to focus on the things I find of interest. Apparently, I have not been under pressure by “The Man”, or an innate […]
