Mechanics and history

[Alan]

I'm really into how different guns work, the engineering behind them, the history of different models. Some people think that's boring but I could talk about it forever. The actual shooting is almost less interesting than the machines themselves. Anyone else fascinated by the mechanical side of things?

I do find it interesting although I don't fully understand a lot of it. Makes for good books though. I plan to get Kuhnhausen's book on Ruger double action revolvers next month after Mr. Grumpy Checkbook recovers from paying the truck insurance today in fact.
