I will not comply. I will not lie down. I will not go quietly. I will not submit. I will not roll over. I will not shut up.

I could count them on one hand although, I'm fairly mechanically inclined I could probably figure out more if I had to.

I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

I'm like her, pretty mechanically inclined (okay, maybe I'm not really as pretty as her...) I haven't found a gun yet that I can't detail strip and put back together. Something I like to do is tear things down to their very smallest pieces and see how everything works as soon as I possibly can.

How many have I actually done though... well over 50 different makes and/or models I'm sure. Could be way more, I never felt the need to keep count.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Not even close to being as pretty as her.

I can usually figure it out without instructions.

The only one I take down (detail strip) regularly is Kimber Ultra II Covert, and I still get out the picture for the Schwartz and the sear. But I love exploded diagrams, schematics and manuals.

For cleaning, whew... I'll go with about 5 on a regular basis. I would need to put some recent hands on a bunch for a test.

Default How many?

So what if I was the only kid in my 5th grade who could field strip an 08-15 Maxim machine-gun, had his own M1 garland, and my own pickup! LOL

the only one that i have ever really needed a manual to field strip was the mk19 grenade launcher. since the geniuses that sent em to my unit neglected to send the needed manuals it took me 5 hours to figure it out...
