project guns

Post by Grubber » Sun Sep 02, 2007 12:24 pm

A co worker came over to shoot a few rounds with me and ended up getting the 380 pistol off of me he has been lookin to get for over a year.

he traded me a bunch of stuff he had in his attic for the pistol a couple rusty shotguns and some neat military mementos from his time in the guard.

so here are some pics of my goods in trade

First a bp front stuffer shotgun (real neat looking)

You did well mate, the BP shotgun looks like a winner with a bit of elbow grease.

Ah, makes me long for the good old days when you could actually trade quietly amongst yourselves without contributing to the governments coffers and being responsible for the death of a small tree for paperwork.
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.
