Ahh yes Peanut, a spaz. My DS showed me a picture of one and I was like wow, thats cool! Maybe when I win the lottery! I also like pump action with no stock but DH says even though they are cool, they are not highly accurate. Kinda like Fiona's on Burn Notice.

A barrel snake still will not take place of the oil smell, you will never get away from the oil smell unless you find a oil that...well, doesn't smell.
also, why is everyone trying to retaliate on her husband, they have a deal going, and a marriage definently doesnt't need anymore bumps than what comes naturally.

I think it is great that females know how and are willing to do be responsible with their guns, as guns they are expensive.

Peanut oil was used on guns for years. There are also lots of other options that dont smell.

All the fun guns require a class 3. I want the 16 gage pistol from Lightning Jack.

It's not hard to clean a gun. Really, it doesn't take any great skill or rocket scientist IQ. I just think it's silly that she should be made to do it all on her own. It's not a "skill" that needs refining. Cooking is actually MORE important than cleaning a gun, but I doubt she makes him cook his own dinners to be responsible for himself. Part of a relationship is that you are PARTNERS, not that one should make the other do everything for themselves if they want something. The boyfriend and I both hunt, we both have guns. If I have the chance to clean them, I do, if he has the time, he does it. So long as it gets done. In all actuality, if the man refuses to clean the gun if the wife doesn't have a chance to, simply because it's her gun, then he needs a wake-up call.

I was taught 'never let the sun set on a dirty gun'. I adhere to that, I own a shotgun, but I use a bolt action 22LR the most. You should rarely need more then one shot if you never pull the trigger until you know you will hit what you're aiming at. Shooting at paper targets will develop your rifle handling skills----but shooting at a living moving target (dogs in a chicken killing frenzy) is a whole lot different.

I'm a hunter safety instructor and last class we had a 80 something year old lady that took the course just so she could learn to clean her dead husbands guns. I thought that was prety cool. Mike

I understand your point of view, but the fact is that it's my gun, my responsibility. I learn best by repetition and forget things easily, so it's important that I handle the shotgun often.
Who knows, maybe someday I come to like the smell of gun oil. Miracles never cease.

I don't enjoy cleaning the gun, but I like the smell of both gun oil and powder.
