Goofy Gun Slang and Expressions

[ebb]

What are some of the phrases you hear around and about guns and gun people that really make you cringe? the one that gets me is "I had a barrel spun up!" The amount of time and effort that most quality smiths spend learning to thread and chamber and crown a barrel, let alone the equipment and shop they bought and paid for to do such work, make my skin crawl. Do some of you have other cringe worthy stuff you hear in the gun world?

Unfortunately, I had someone on this forum call me a "Democrat" because I had a varying opinion to his on an issue.

However, at my age, I am immune to name calling. But for the record, I am not a Democrat or for that matter a Republican. I am an Independent but more importantly I am a Christian. So if you want to call me names, at least get it right.

My range favorite is, "Yea, I shot a deer at 400 yards with old Betsy". I just smile and nod, but I want to ask, "was it exactly 400 yards on your range finder and how much hold over did you use with old Betsy which has a 3 x 9 scope on it". But being a polite fellow, I just let it pass. It always nice to make a fellow shooter feel good even though you strongly suspect he is spreading bull stools.

If I do my part....

I was looking at the one’s that made the World’s Benchrest Team, I bet there were two hundred behind them that were doing their part. Pretty tough crowd.

I tend to let folks use their terms and not get offended. It simply tells me where there experience level is. If they’re idiots, I ignore them.

Anything preceded by "I saw it on YouTube...."

Being referred to as a "deplorable" or "trash". F-you Hillary and Biteme!
