How old are we? - Page 3

jeb111 · 01-25-2021, 03:34 PM

I thought that the average age of the members was somewhere in the archives or known by admin. I guess I could take a formal poll but that might be beyond my computer skills. I knew the average age of members was on the "mature" side because money to own multiple Lugers and judging by the expert posts given by so many members that kind of knowledge only comes from years of experience some years more than others. HerrKaiser seems to be the only age challenged member so far, a man his age to afford several Lugers he must be a chippendales dancer. I would shake my money maker if it meant more Lugers in the gun safe (if I had enough to shake) I really enjoyed the posts from the members and got a few laughs. I myself am 54 but like others mentally way younger and physically older sometimes way way older.
Thanks
Jim

Well the average appears to be just under 67 years.
I am about the median, not the mean, although I can be mean on occasions

I wish it was as easy as having a money maker to shake. Instead I had a goal at age 12 to save up to get one. And through a decade of hard work and saving I was able to afford a few. Probably should have been content with the first 2, but man they’re addicting.

77 and enjoying the best occupation I've ever had .. retirement.

Next month I'll be 69.

When I was 21, instead of the 4 inch "cannon" on my Luger, I wanted an artillery size. Now, I'd settle for a functional Russian captured, Weimer police rebarreled mix master that toggles snap caps.

64, and feel like 50 or less ...

tharpo · 01-27-2021, 04:15 PM

I'm average too at 67. Still working...

spacecoast · 01-27-2021, 04:41 PM

According to my wife or the calendar?

Almost threescore... original parts, but some hidden repairs and in need of a general refinishing. Bluing is getting thin in several spots.

Must have got ballistol in your eyes.

Hmm. If you rub your Tinder date with Ballistol first, it will feel like hugging your guns.

Unfortunately, most of the pretty ones were fake or robots. But in the end the prettiest one ended up being real and the one I am engaged to now. It all works out in the end.
