Do you guys take your guns to a reputable gun smith in order

No, because im not a mechanically illeterate fucking retard.

I shit you not, I know of a police officer who goes to a gunsmith every month, to have his service weapons cleaned. These are his only weapons, and he only shoots them once every 8 or so months, a few rounds, to qualify.

No. I clean them when needed. If something small breaks I buy a replacement part. If something is fucked and there's service/warranty on it I'll send it it

>>28737521
there aren't actually people that take their guns to a smith to get them cleaned, are there?

>>28737566
yep.

>>28737521
No, I'm not a completely incompetent retard that needs someone to wipe my ass for me.

>>28737521
Why is he so fat?

>>28737566

There are some rifle-sized ultrasonic cleaners for getting anything and everything off a gun. Gunsmiths might have those...

But basic cleaning...I sure hope not. Then again, it would be good business for gunsmiths.

>>28737566
There are people who take their guns to a smith to be cleaned.
There are people who take their guitars to a music store to get strings changed.
There are people who take their cars to an auto shop/lube center for wiper fluid refills.
There are people who take their kills to someone else to be dressed.

The list goes on. And on.

>>28737605
This, there is all sorts of money to be made of the ignorant and the lazy.

I do take my guns to the gunsmith for proper deep cleaning and check-up.

Each year I grab my most used guns and take them to a guy that thoroughly cleans and checks for any problems.

It's nice.

All you guys are just jealous poorfags.

it's faster and cheaper to just do your oil change at home than it is to drive your car over and have someone strip your drain plug and not change the oil filter you stupid motherfucker.
no, minimum wage employees at jiffy lube don't have diplomas in their profession, and yes, I do know a lot more about cars than them.

>>28737688
In my country they have mechanic diplomas.

I do it because it's worth it. What am I? A fucking poorfag that can't afford some fucking oil change?

>>28737695

What the fuck is a lube center? It's called a mechanic garage in my country.

>>28737704

>>28737673
it won some prestigious bbq contest or some shit like that. hating sauce because they have better marketing than your artisan hipster shit is just stupid.

Nigga I AM a reputable gunsmith.

Not licensed for shit but I'm more competent than any of the "professional" smiths in this area who can't even cut/crown a barrel.

Gunsmithing is dead.

>>28737605
>There are people who take their kills to someone else to be dressed.
Honestly that one's just laziness.

>>28737769
everything else he mentioned isn't?

>>28737643
No. Sauces are the crutches failed human being. True men know the glory that is the dry rub. A sufficient dry rub eliminates the need for a sauce.

>>28737788
>not using sauce with a dry rub

>>28737788
Agreed.
If the meat is seasoned (dry rub, brine, or marinade) and cooked properly it doesn't need sauce. Needing sauce means the seasoning, the cooking, or both, was done poorly.

>>28737677
Underrated post. Also, Czeched.

>>28737811
Salt, pepper, and smoke are all that is necessary, everything else is for queers who don't like to actually taste their food.

>>28737737
Nah, I was just joking. It's 4chan. You have to spice it up a little or you're a massive faggot.

I think it's okay. I've always been a head country and cattleman's fan. The rest of my friends swear by that stuff though.

>>28737837
oh no, a guy with a shit palette is calling me a queer over the internet for liking food that tastes good.

>>28737796
This man gets it. Why deny yourself a part of the Holy Trinity of BBQ?

>>28737605
>Not going to the shop to get your blinker fluids filled.

>>28737848
If you needed to smother the meat in something to alter the flavor you obviously have shit taste.

If you can find it, herbal butter is fucking insane if you use it instead of regular butter.

No. The only local Smith has banned me, because in casual conversation we talked and he found out I was friends with someone who was in a legal dispute.

He told me to get the hell out and, "if my buddy got out" he could do the work I wanted. I'm still baffled. Apparently I'm just as guilty by association. I didn't sperg out in front of him by any means.

Now that I think about it, before hand he muzzle swept the fuck out of me with a kel tec or some shitty pocket gun while I was telling him what I wanted done as well.

Probably does that because he doesn't pay for it. If I had tax dollars to abuse, Id do all sorts of dumb shit
I bet that gunsmith gives him a kickback

>>28737704
People that think any mechanic shop that gets the actual experienced mechanics to change their oil makes me lol.

That is the realm of first year apparentices.


Also I change my own oil and completely serivce my truck but have the dealer service my sports car because that is still under warranty for another year. Onces its out of warranty I will look after it myself.

Look after all my guns myself as well. Fuck paying someone to inspect them lol.

Only time a gunsmith is given my gun is when I am paying them to do something I cant due to lack of the right machines, like threading a barrel.

One day I will have my own lathe though and it will be gloroius. Shame I dont live in freedom land though so I cant make myself my own cans :(

Some gun shops will clean officer's guns for free, or at least let them use their facility to clean it themselves. All the shops in my area do, although there aren't all that many cops in my area either.

Sticky fingers is best

I clean my guns because I enjoy doing it. I take my cars in for oil changes because I don't enjoy doing them. I know how to work on vehicles to a certain extent, but I fucking hate doing it. I pay for a lot of stuff that I know how to do but don't like doing it in the slightest. I paid to have my laundry done prior to my girl moving in, because I found laundry to be the most tedious, mentaly draining activity next to mowing my lawn (which I also have done for me). I could see someone who loves shooting & loves their guns NOT enjoy cleaning them, much the same way that I love my clean, pressed clothing, but hate getting it to that point myself. Everyone should know how to do all of these things well, but if they'd rather pay someone else to do it, what the fuck is the problem?

Who three fuck uses a gun smith anymore?

Only exception would be very old guns. Modern guns are designed to be worked on easily.

You can buy every tool you need online and watch youtube videos and save yourself hundreds of dollars.

My lgs smith vharges $99 to change out sights and $75 to change a connector in a Glock.

>>28740325

My local Walmart charges $5 more to furnish and change the oil than it costs me just to buy three oil alone

I can change my own oil, but I'll pay $5 to have someone else do it

>>28741137
I watched one of them use an impact wrench on the oil plug. I would stay away from walmart

>>28741162

They have benches in and outside the garage and I watched them work.

They used hand tools for the the oil plug and filter.

I have no doubt that retards fuck shit up in some stores, which is why I watched.

>>28737707
I'm not rich but if I made like 200k a year and worked all the time then no doubt I would do shit just to save a small headache like have somebody else change my oil or clean my clothes.

>>28741099

In Portland OR of all places, there's an awesome little gun shop in the industrial suburbs next to a garage that can do any work you need done, though they specialize in ARs. Most jobs have a day turn around or less and they charge less than Adco. It's awesome to be able to get shit reprofiled or pinned or whatever while I hang out looking at AR parts.

>>28741640
NO! NONONONONO!
That is no shit a crime. Do NOT do that. Pay someone to dress it and get a discount by letting them keep some of the meat. Then get the thing tanned and make something from it.

>>28737521
I find it hard to believe any gun owners that aren't literal <80iq retards or cops (redundant) get regular cleaning done at a gunsmith.

>>28738998
I prefer sweet baby ray's over stubbs.
it's surprising, but people have different tastes. that's why there are so many different sauces out there.

Usually not for cleaning or replacing worn or broken parts. Sad thing is, most "gun shop 'smiths" are more hamfisted than me.
My old SxS got sent to Briley to have the chokes reamed open, the used Mk3 BHP that developed a case of "Hammer Follow" got taken in a week after I purchased it, but all in all, i try to keep things maintained and operational myself.
Only one weapon in the safe, a Franken AR, isn't fully reliably operational right now, but at least a dozen other rifles, shotguns and handguns are ready to roll.

I want bbq now...
