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” […]
07/02/2024 – I have a squirrel problem. More correctly, my bird feeder has a squirrel problem. It used to have a deer, raccoon, chipmunk, and squirrel problem, but mounting it on a slick, 1″ diameter metal pole, and elevating it to 15′ off the ground, eliminated all but the latter. […]

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 […]
I apologize for the presence of my noggin, but it seemed appropriate to mark a long winded speech. Man… I have been doing this for a long time. Real Guns® began as posts made to Usenet newsgroups in 1995, and it became a dedicated editorial section on a Usenet service […]
