They changed some time back so that you have to register to even read it. But trust me, you probably do not want to see just how stupid people can be...
"hi, im new to the boards and ive got a few questions about a rifle that i found. we were cleaning out my great grand fathers house about a week ago and we found a rifle and some stuff from when he was in the army. i know its made by winchester but i dont know the model or when it was made. i think it was his old hunting rifle. about how much is this gun worth and whats it shoot?"
"we tossed most of his old stuff because we did not have room to keep it but i kept the rifle. dad had no interest in it so i took it and started making it in to a home defence rifle im going to mount a lazer and a flashlight and maby a red dot scope next time the gun show comes around ill keep you updated on the project as it goes."
"so what do yall think of my cqc deer rifle? the finish was slighly rough feeling to the touch so i sanded it down and made it nice and shiny. great grand pa would be proud."
Actually it was. One of the photos he had shows a full rack of Garands on the wall, but nobody picked up on it till 5 pages of insults and name calling later. This was like one of the guy's first 15 posts. Way to make a good impression.
