No, never heard of these things...........


except for this late 1800's early 1900's Coast Guard Signaling device that gets pulled out once in a while for me to wipe the dust off it.

Occasionally I accidentally spill 1/2-3/4's of a 35mm film canister of FF powder down the barrel, wadding up toilet paper into a ball and ramming it home, then some waterproof green M-80 fuse and a match is the only way I know how to clean the powder out of it.

Guess I should just take it to the local metal recycler, as it weighs near 60 pounds of solid cast iron.

I'm sure scrap metal is all it's good for..................except for that 20 foot long and 12 foot diameter cloud of smoke and noise that helps with mosquito control in the yard.

Don't you just LOVE what your Mom finds at a Garage Sale as a gift for you, then asks with a serious face, "you're really not going to shoot that are you?"


Well DUHHHH!


THANKS MOM!!!
