Is just such an ascetic, kinda hate I don't get to experience it. Will look and read though books or magazines from this time period for hours because of stuff like this seriously though large portion of my generation really likes this stuff more then current stuff honestly. Especially the cloner community

Hip holster for a long arm! Why didnt I think of that!

The eighties the 1911 ruled. Tupperware guns didn't get here until 83 if memory serves. Black guns were basically the Colt Sporter until Clinton and company said you couldn't have one if it had a pointy thing mount or a birdcage.

For the conceal carry version, I think I could manage one of those inside my bib overalls today, but I've have to walk around like Chester. Maybe nobody would notice.

I'm not sure Universal was around in the '80's.The long gun is a M1 carbine,the short one was a pistol version of the carbine called the Enforcer.I'd say this is from the early to mid 70's.

Gun culture? When I was in grade school,,I was allowed to bring my .22 rife in to school for show and tell day.Ammo and all.And on the bus both ways.And no one thought anything about it.

Maybe I lived a sheltered life, wasn't really any "gun culture" around here that I was ever around in the 80s and 90s. Was a hunting culture I guess with everyone having their favorite hunting rifle or shotgun but they were just tools that were secondary to the hunt itself. Sure wasn't anything like that pic around here.

Maybe Savell can connect better with that pic

That would be apart of you generations gun culture

Ok so the term gun culture seems to confuse some . It's not slw. Woke term or something basically all it is is just the accumulated whatever of the gun community of given place or time .

So like if you go to West Texas and hang out with predators hunters, a lot of them have kinda their own culture when it comes to firearms lots of these style rifles , people are considering $2000 as a average gun , nice scopes , shooting small groups being able to reach out a good distance. As an example


Just about every time period and place you and pretty easily see a different culture when it comes guns. Can go as far back as the different styles of muzzleloaders , Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Hawkins ect.

Wolf, dig you up some of Col Jeff Cooper's writings. That's 80s gun culture.

"I got this one Marshal Dillon." Then Chester pulls out the rifle, shoots and walks over to the body without limping, gun in hand, ready for a kill shot.

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^ Gun culture?? Sheeeet!

They couldnt even draw them guns out of them Calven Klein holsters.Hahahahahaaaa

I'm more confused by ascetic. Trying to figure out what guns have to do with depriving oneself of pleasure for religious purposes.

But, then, a lot of your posts don't make much sense to me, lol.

Those gayrods wouldnt last 5 minutes in Chicago.

Carefull Boco wolfie said he hates that he didn't get experience those gayrods

I see two winners in this post- Yotetrapper30 & Boco!!

English is hard I'm tired this word is the word I ment

people have always thrown ideas at the wall to see what stuck

the question has been around a long time , how do you hands free carry a firearm capable enough to be useful

the answers have been different and laws restrict a lot of useful

the current answer is basically the quick adjust 2 point sling

it had been a braced pistol and a 2 point quick adjust sling

the slings like the Vickers and the Magpul MS1 MS2 MS3

alternately pistols with slide mounted optics are answering this question from the other direction

you should look back and see what passed as a tree stand around that time , looks like they were made in someone garage because they weren't far off of that.

All in geography I guess, we didn’t have a gun culture. Everyone you knew had guns and lots of them. They were used for hunting though. On days we were getting out of school early we would take our guns/bows and check them in at the principal’s office if we didn’t want to leave them in the trucks. Of course ammo was left in the truck along with arrows.
I guess if you call it a “culture” it would be that they were tools and nothing more. My best friends dad had a gun if every caliber at that time. I’ve shot deer with everything from a .22Hornet to a 300RUM. I don’t remember anything with a composite stock either. I shot dove and ducks with everything from a .410 to a 10ga. Everyone owned guns and used them for their intended purpose…putting food on the table and enjoying their time doing it.
