I always find it interesting that computer types would also be gun
nuts. I've got a 1942 Soviet Musen Nagent (Spelling?) 7.62x54R, a 1970s
era Savage 30-06, and a .380 handgun. Cabela's has a good stock of
various odd ammunition sizes, including 7.62x54R.
I use a military grade gun oil on my weapons and for lubricating old
printer head guide rails.
As far as blasting old computer hardware, more often than not I feel
like killing the new stuff instead.
