Guest TNFarmBoy Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Re: Always remember............... The fairly new NASCAR term "Lucky Dog" comes to mind...I hope everyone is OK!!!! I'm sure that's a "lesson learned" & earned and it won't happen again...at least to him. Somebody, some place will do that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Re: Always remember............... Yep, what a way to customise a Savage. At the action looks salvageable. Throw a new barrel on it and they can try harder to hurt themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Re: Always remember...............

Jeramie Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Re: Always remember............... I got that in an email a couple of weeks ago. It amazes me how much pressure a gun generates! Not only did he ruin a good rifle, im betting he ruined a good pair of undies too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ QUOTE ] Man you should send that pic to MYTHBUSTERS on the discoverychannel.I seen them try to accomplish that one.I believe they said mythbusted. [/ QUOTE ] They were trying to do it with a shotgun and were plugging the barrel with ballistic gellatin to simulate someone's finger. Like the old cartoon where the shotgun blows up in Elmer Fudd's face. They actually did manage to blow the barrel when they plugged it with something solid. Can't remember what they used, might have been a wooden dowl rod??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Always remember............... They welded a rod in the the end of the barrel. But there is a little bit of a difference between 10K LUP (lead units of pressure) vs 60K CUP (copper units of pressure). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
