``Meacham High Wall(below)
The type of rifle action that is known as the highwall (click here) was originally invented by John Moses Browning and patented in 1879. At that time Winchester Repeating Arms Co. was very successfully selling their model 73 and 76 repeating rifles but these actions were too week to be used with the large powerful cartridges used by western hunters and the repeaters were not well liked by the publicity generating target shooters of the day. In the early 1880"s a Winchester executive heard of the Browning rifle and eventually bought the Patent and hired Mr. Browning, the beginning of very fruitful relationship.

Bluing is used to protect the metal used to make guns. Some handgun owners prefer stainless steel because it does not rust. Guns worn close to the body in concealed carry absorb body heat in their holsters. That means they heat up when carried and cool down when not carried. That change in temperature creates condensation of water. Water causes rusting. Refinishing guns using a bluing process can remove rust and provide a nice finish to the gun. Guns that are blued are often less expense to purchase. I think he needs better ventilation, but, one would have to know what the rest of his new shop looks like.

There are other aspects to gun collecting. There are many aspects to ownership and operation. One is an age old practice called lubrication.
Far and away (click here) the most common problem I see when instructing is lack of proper lubrication. This goes for civilians, LE, and military. Of the groups I train on a regular basis military Spec Ops definitely understands the importance of lube the most but it is still common to find weapons not lubricated properly. And what I mean by properly is having lube in/on the working parts of the weapon.
Many weapon systems will not tolerate lack of lubrication and continue to function for any length of time. The US military M16/M4 family and M9 pistol are prime examples of two weapons that do not work well or for long without lubricant. Another example is tightly fitted custom or semi custom 1911 pistols. Simply put these weapons and others REQUIRE lubricant to function reliably – no way around it....
