Maybe a bit unusual for this community, but

Historical Firearms and the Development thereof: /r/ForgottenWeapons

as well as /r/guns in general.

Also, https://www.reddit.com/r/aimdownsights/top/?sort=top&t=all is worth checking out.

I love Forgotten Weapons. I'm not even a gun nut, never owned one, but something about watching him explain the history and mechanical functioning of each firearm is so relaxing and satisfying.

For 1st World War guns.

Same here. Can't stand /r/firearms though. I wish there were better gun communities out there.

And I wish guns weren't so expensive. I'm at the point where I have insurance on my gun collection alone.

I'm the same. I'm a leftie who enjoys guns (the machines themselves and the physical discipline to use them safely and effectively), but I despise what you might call "gun culture" especially here in the USA.

I wish I could find a good group of like minded who could just focus on the sport without descending into endless political posturing.

/r/guns is great for that reason exactly. You get some annoying folks in the comments, but never anything about politics and the whole "libtard bashing" thing isn't done there.

Im with ya. Live in one of the most liberal cities in the states, definitely lean liberal, but love guns too.

/r/weekendgunnit ?
