This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Antique firearms are often fiddly to take apart, repair and reassemble. After all, they weren't the most optimized designs and often required a lot of hand fitting to get things to work as compared to today. But they aren't that complex nor were they designed like an iPhone to be near impossible to take apart and reassemble.

But, like most mechanical things, you really only need to be 5% smarter than the machine to actually work with it. A high bar for some I suppose.
