Liberals, avert your eyes - I'm gonna be talking about guns.
My dad recently passed away, and I inherited his 1957 Winchester Model 94. It was purchased new in 1958 for the frightening sum of $79.95 along with two boxes of ammo (which he still had). This gun has never had a round chambered, and as you might guess, is in "like new" condition. Along with the rifle, I got the original store receipt (from Sears), as well as some correspondence when a list of service parts was requested, along with the returned exploded drawing of the rifle, and the service parts list (and cost). The exploded view and parts list are printed on glossy paper stock and is dated, July 1 1956.
I want to go out and shoot the rifle, but it's essentially a 60-year-old virgin, and doing so would immediately degrade the exceptional value of the gun. However, just in case I succumb to the urge, I ordered a Williams peep sight. It bolts to the gun through existing holes in the receiver, so at least I won't be drilling into anything to mount it.

This is definitely a hermetically-sealed glass case job! There are plenty of other guns to shoot, but this one? NO!

Just don't, John. Even so, that's a beautiful rifle.

Then maybe more a soapbox issue?

Your comment is something the same like the things in Q/A: "It does not work". So simply useless as long you don't exaplain it more...

You must be new here...
EDIT ---------------
Oh, I see. You're just some chickenshit existing user that felt like they needed to create a sock puppet account (today) to say something they didn't want to catch heat for from everyone else.

It is up to you to confirm: Quote: It is truly remarkable how here are members favors by their Points or than Duration of membership!
[Edit]
No, no "sock puppet" at all! And yes for the story with your late father I can certainly empathize! I'm sorry to hear that!

There where times I "trolled" a Little bit, but I think I'm far away to be a resident troll! Only frustrated again what high rep members are allowed against low rep mem I was. 0x01AA

My apologies!
I assumed you were the reincarnation of ORT after his latest account closure.
Welcome back - but why do you keep changing usernames? I'd only just got used to the last one!

No need to apology, basically it was me who makes the confusion. I simply don't know how to come back as 0x01AA

I will do it, but look, the latest comment to me from Dave K* it is an example again how high rep responds to low rep here. I'm not sure to stay here

It's really strange that no matter how many times you leave (by choice or vote) and come back, you never really learn anything from the exercise. It may be (as you once stated) your difficulties with the English language, but I get the distinct impression that it is just you.

Most probably it is me, yes. Thank you for the hint.

If you're going to make an unfathomable comment you like made to ppolymorph, you deserve to get smacked. It doesn't matter what the rep points are.
If OrignalGriff made the same comment you did I would have smacked him too.

Sorry the "unfathomable" answer was given by him! And sorry such a generall answer given by me will end in endless downvotes!
About the remaining "Of OrignalGriff made ...", it is your Statement, I can only hope it would be the truth, what I have to assume.

Quit while you are (just) ahead. Much more of this and the anti-troll hamsters will be unleashed.

I have low rep, but I've never really been on the receiving end of (truly) negative treatment in any area of the forums (and I've definitely said some stupid sh*t!) At least not to the level that would make me feel unwelcome.
My perspective is that the higher rep people here are actually rather nice, level-headed people; a stark contrast to most of the rest of the internet.
Maybe it's related to username? (Wouldn't that be an interesting psychology study?) That name on my account is indeed mine; for whatever reason (I genuinely don't know) I don't feel the need to hide behind a pseudonym here (and certainly do almost everywhere else.) Maybe that helps to humanize me, which leads to more humane treatment...
Then again, there are also certain people here who seem to be bigger a-holes than the rest (not naming names!,) so maybe I've just been lucky to not have interacted with them.
