I'll Never Hear Thunder . . .

Always "snap" a cap or two before you load your rifle. Always do this. That will help clear the flash channel of any debris from the previous cleaning. It saves so much frustration. Caps are cheap when considering the anguish of no boom.

A big +1 to that and I'll add one at the shoulder and pointed downrange to assure the gun isn't loaded and the 2nd. at the grass to be sure the channel and barrel are clear.

No ERMEY wasn't there I was, also there was no shade.

Well the debate as too weapons being called guns brings back not so fond memories of Marine Corps boot camp especially when on the range qualifying, I can remember the fatal mistake of calling a rifle a gun. Lets just say the end result was running in circles holding my rifle over my head with one hand and yelling this is my rifle this is my gun. The rest is to graphic to put here but you old GRUNTS know what I mean. Fond memories.

Gun rhymes with fun
