A word of caution when dealing with snakes...

[LuckyDuck]

There are few creatures as beautiful or as deadly as the cobra.

Naturally, men of our stock are attracted to such critters and for millennia have asked themselves "if only I could harness that beauty & lethality"...and our ancestors have forever thus tried to tame the beast only to find out generations later that the cobra cannot be tamed and once more-we found out that they're quite prolific and reproduce far faster than anticipated.

Did you know a single cobra can lay between 10-30 eggs? I didn't before going down this noble endeavor and before I knew what was happening- I was left with a snake pit as deadly as they are beautiful...

I sought to my elders, I looked towards our ancestors on how I could possibly reign in this den of cobras and wield their strengths while understanding their potential for harm and also appreciating their beauty and suddenly a solution was presented from of all places but the jungles of Vietnam...

I needed a bonafide snake-eater to watch over the rapidly growing snake pit... I searched high & low and found myself a true champion to watch over my flock...

Pictured above is my snake pit- a CCO, Kobra Carry & Kobra Gov't along with my latest addition to the Ed Brown Collection, a Gov't Special Forces model.

Ok Boomer.

One can appreciate 1911's and not be of the age that's collecting Social Security. Check out my other posts- I've got plenty of plastic fantastics that I also enjoy.

That's funny right there, the last time I saw someone called boomer here it was @308pirate calling me out as boomer for questioning the uber tall LPVO AR mounts.

Rookie, real men like rampant stallions

 

[LuckyDuck]

Ok Boomer.

When you suck & they hate you but you're also one gun away from completing the collection...

Finally got my HK P30 LEM collection put together and wanted to share. There's also an easter egg in the picture for sharp-eyed members here that adds an element of legitimacy to the picture/post. -LD

Started a convo just for you.

Oh I assure you that I was raised properly in that regard...

Just a few examples that I've shared before.

tell me you’re a boomer without telling me you’re a boomer (pictures above)

The duck is dropping breadcrumbs like crazy!!

I open this safe when I want to larp as a Boomer.

Nah-

I try to play by the rules and keep any shenanigans to the Bear Pit (and this ain't it). It's really just a thread about Ed Brown pistols and nothing more than that.

Afghan bring backs with papers, except the two on the left.

I've got to ask-

Far right of your picture- the reddish recoil pad... Is there anything special you do to keep that in that condition?

Reason I ask is I've seen a great many otherwise fantastic firearms have rubber recoil pads (often resembling that one on the right) that just degraded not from neglect but just because of age.

Show me that sweet “stay off the lawn” signage.

Do you guys say your birth year when asked or just mumble something about the 1900’s?

What !. No Easter egg

I bought it like that. I got lucky.

The old herters pads hold up really well. Silicone spray can bring one back if it is a bit dry.

Nah- not in this one. Didn't occur to me to introduce an easter egg until I did a follow up post truth be told.

That said- I think it's a good one in that it's blatantly present for those that know but also frustratingly absent to others. But that wasn't part of this thread. Just wanted to talk 1911's and EB's here.

Appreciate the response-

I inherited a Parker Hale in 7mm Magnum years ago from my uncle that was an absolute gorgeous specimen and had less than 20 rounds through her. My uncle kept up with the steel & wood but the butt pad absolutely disintegrated by the point I got possession of her.

Moot point I suppose but I ended up cleaning the rifle up and selling it years ago to funnel the money/proceeds back into my Aunt's coffers. I never really had much use for a 7mm Magnum but the Parker was really something gorgeous to behold (aside from the disintegrating butt pad).

The fudd is strong in here.

 

[LuckyDuck]

The fudd is strong in here.

And your understanding of what a 'fudd' means is weak. You don't like 1911's... ok with me, we can still be friends. Want to discuss 'fudds' then start a thread in the Pit and tag me and I'll be happy to elaborate why I think you're misguided.

I’m offended

I really am a boomer by demographic. And I thought that was funny. Made up for the shock and horror that this thread was not about bore snakes, which is what I had imagined.

The next time you think your having a bad day watch that video.

Nobody cares.

Let's see you shoot.

 

[Sterlingb06]

Definitely a lot of beauty and danger in those creatures. Having a snake-eater around sounds like a smart move to keep things in check

 

[DocRDS]

This Anaconda Bites. And then there is VERY old school ponies. Horrible sights. Still hammers after TWO WORLD WARS lol.

Not sure which one is my favorite
