buckhunter,

You hit the nail on the head; some of my local gun club members abuse their guns on every trip to the range. Yesterday, I was at the range shooting a few muskets and some military arms I bought in excellent condition in the 1960s and I always transport all arms in gun cases. Well into the parking lot comes two guys. They open the car trunk and pull out 6 or 8 guns tossed therein like cordwood with the spare tire, jack and tire chains. As they passed my bench carrying their "shop worn" arms, one guy looked at my T/C Hawken .50 caliber and commented, "Did you just get this here gun?" I said, "No, I have had that rifle for 30 years." The guy was stunned and commented, "Why that would pass for new." I asked him if he owned a gun case and he said, "Nah, these are huntin' guns." Nuff said!

Adam
