GUN?? You guys think there might be a gun in there?

If there is, it's rusted all to heck by now. Hmm ain't no rust on that gun.....I was hoping you
got one just a little bit more fancy....Lord knows you deserve it :applaud                                                                     Remember:"What goes around................... Comes around" ;)

I really wasn't shure if I should let cat out of the bag or not, being as though I am not shure if I had sent Mr President  pictures of said smoothbore.
So I will keep them to a minumum just in case.This is during the "build".
No breech plug and the makers marks weren't filed off yet.
I tried to show the inside of the muzzle as "smooth", but the flash may hinder this.
The muzzle protector and barrel bands are from the Possum Lodge in Canada,perhaps a few are familiar with this,it's kind of universal.
Hope ya'll enjoy the sneak peek. :toast

Manufactory says 200 psi water at 73 deg.F,so they must test with water. ( strange)
I do believe however,that the barrel bands increase this to the point of catastrophic failure, plus a little.
Good luck.  :shake

Evidently the "Wise Guy" factor has increased by 100 %   mean--just plain mean.  This is in violation of the Geneva convention on unusual punishment  and or torture of non-combatants...REALLY....Tom :)

Come on!  Don't cop out on us now.  I made a reasonable (to me, anyway) offer.  Pony up or call the honey wagon.

MN has over the counter tags for the last several seasons. I picked one up for the last season, running 5/23-5/29. There may be hope for me yet.... (plus I gotta shoot a cup off'n that dude's head...)

Mighty fine looking gun!  Guess I'll have to turn around and ride this mule south now.  Made it almost to Dallas.
