here's what i was told by my grandfather:

it was originally made in 1906.
and it was designated "thirty caliber of 1906". Because there previously existed an earlier .30 cal round.
it was shortened (who wants to say all that) to "thirty of '06" (pronounced 'oh-six').
then eventually became "thirty alt six".

just easier to say i guess, but i'm no historian. that's just what i heard.
Thirty aught six:

I assumed it was aught. As in, "remeber what happened back in aught five" Its an old fashioned word for zero.

1906 would be 19 aught six, shortend to aught six.

aught 2 also ought Pronunciation (ôt)
n.
1. A cipher; zero.
2. Archaic Nothing.

edited to add: I see this has allready been adressed,nevermind.

I've done all of the above.

I've not bought cars because gun cases would not fit into them. I've even brought gun cases to the new car dealerships to see if they would fit inside the car.

Yup.

Especially .357 and .45. I got a gun nut buddy that's in the chior, and when 357 and 45 come up we just grin back at each other.:supergrin:

Actually, they usually quiz me.....

Nope. My revolver I do though. Cuz I don't have a GLOCK yet. (It's ridiculous to take it off lock it up, and come back in 15 minutes to put it right back on, so I take it in there with me. That's why they make those silicone gun socks...)

You might be a gun nut if.....

You can hear an anti gun comment or a completely wrong statement about owning guns, ammunition, hunting, concealed carry, self defense, freedom, and the 2nd Amendment... when said comment was whispered... on the other side of the room.

You definately ARE a gun nut if, after hearing that whispered comment, you make a bee line over to engage that person in conversation hoping to educate them.

You might be a gun nut if.....

You go to the range on a beautiful Sunday afternoon with your kids, 18 firing points full of people shooting.

And your 14 year old daughter is the best shot on the line. :)

She made daddy proud shooting off hand groups smaller than most of the guys using a bench rest.

This was her best target of the day. 5 shots off hand 50 yards on the A23 target.
