When I first quickly scrolled down the thread listings, I read this one as, “Why Do I See Animal Crackers?” 🤔

I find the concept of optics on a shotgun amusing.

It’s just you. 😄

“It’s a trap!” 😁

As others have said, it’s a ‘92 Winchester clone. I had the chance to extensively handle and shoot a couple back in November. A local scout troop bought them and we put them through their paces at an annual fundraiser held at our range. The guns were brand new straight from the box. We put about 400 rounds of factory .38 SP through each, at 5 rounds per shooter for 800 rounds total. We club volunteers loaded and cleared them after each shooter as quickly as we could. Needless to say, they got warm and dirty throughout a long day. They were stiff and notchy as most new ‘92s are these days, but held up well under the abuse. We had to retire one of the guns towards the very end as we started getting failures to fire, no doubt due to crud buildup. They’re good looking, but will definitely need some gunsmithing to smooth things out, which is in line with every gun we play with in our game. The first thing I’d do is shorten the mag tube spring and lighten the loading gate spring. After 300 or so rounds I had to use a Bic pen as a push stick to get rounds through the gate. Dang, my fingers got sore! At $700 which is significantly less than a new toggle link gun, it seems like a good starter rifle. It will definitely need tuning, but will last you until you get the itch to add to your collection. I started with a ‘92 and shot that for my first 3 years in SASS.

That’s good! Still one space to fill though…

I did NOT work in on that gun! It was …err, like that when I got it. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Walmart opened in Arkansas and sold the first toothbrush. In other parts of the country it was called a teethbrush…

I remember “The Pepsi Generation”, but not the “Come Alive” part. Apparently it was part of it. Found this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsi_Generation

I read the exact same story years ago, but it was with the Coke campaign slogan, “Coke adds life.”

Dunno. But I think Boldly Go was the name of the colonoscopy prep I had to drink last week…

That’s impressive. My total knowledge of oscilloscopes then and now is there was a wavy green line moving against a screen with a grid. Didn’t they use one in the opening credits of the TV show “Outer Limits”? They were used a lot by Hollywood in the 50s and 60s to illustrate high tech.

My dad was an engineer. Never saw a repairman in our house. He once brought an oscilloscope home from work to diagnose a problem with the TV.

This is what I see on my screen:

WOW!!

Did your rifle look like this? This is my Mossberg .22 made for military training. That’s a 6-round detachable mag just ahead of the trigger guard

Pic is reversed for some reason. That’s quite a contraption.

I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.
