latest find in the dump!!! - Page 2

Shoot Bubba, you need a big ol' gun for that big ol' cartridge!

Oooooweeee!

You could always take it back to the dump, then call the authorities and sit back and laugh as they come in with the whole bomb disposal regalia, after you've been hauling it around.

That 7mmmag round looks just like Winchester SilverTip. It's a very nice hunting round.

My father-in-law is a boss at a dump-mart (landfill) in Arkansas. For some reason, people have thrown away two 150 lb cement Razorback pigs. Of course he hauled them all the way to Kansas and put them in my yard. Razorbacks must have lost a bunch that year.

Keep an eye on those cement pigs,I worked in Arkansas and soon realised that things dont move very fast there,not even the football team. Those pigs could be real,not cement and if they get hungry they would be just as dangerous as any other razorback.Put some corn out there just for safety. sam.

I bet they're real pissed off about me painting them red.

tommy · 09-24-2007, 03:41 PM

i would like to find some cement statues like that. the closest i came so for is a cement statue of a boxer dog. i found two cement statues of two black kids that sit on the side of a pond or something and they had a fishing pole in thier hands. it was a boy and girl both with straw hats . they looked nice but they had alot of chips on them.(they were painted like black kids thats why i say they were black kids). no racial things intended .

oes that thing kick? Will it work on groundhogs?Can I borrow it? sam.

Zephri · 09-24-2007, 07:21 PM

you could use a pipe cutter (the ones that you clamp on and spin until it cuts the pipe) and cut the casing in half then remove the powder and projectile. I've done this to 54r rounds and it works very well for this and does not create heat.

Uncle Harley · 09-24-2007, 07:29 PM

What you got there Tommy IS a live 20mm electrically primed cannon shell. Got it? ELECTRICALLY primed. That means normal firing voltage is 300 vdc. I got one to go off, less the projectile & main charge, at 24 vdc, less than most static electricity! I'm an old Air Force cannon cocker & this ain't no bull. Don't be an idiot, lay it down gently & call the sherrif. You'll thank me in the morning when you get up with all your fingers & hand still attached to your arm.

samuel · 09-24-2007, 07:44 PM

Time to quit the jokes and be serious.U.H. sounds like he knows his sh**.I know noone wants to see you injured or worse. sam.

toolman · 09-24-2007, 08:02 PM

FWIW, the 7mm rd. looks like a Win. Ballistic SilverTip.

Uncle Harley, welcome to G&G!

WHAT???speak english i'm cajun.lol you saying this thing will go off with a static charge? but if i'm not mistakin you can't get a static spark on brass right?? i'm goin to go turn it in tomorrow but i was tring to find out as much as possible on it before. i was even thinkin of stopping by the new paper to show them what you can find if you look in the local dumps and how safe it is to burn the trash when they cover it up.

Uncle Harley · 09-25-2007, 06:07 AM

The primer is basically a blasting cap. It works on electricity, not a mechanical firing pin like most bullets. I'm not saying it WILL go off, just that it CAN go off with static. Remember walking on the carpet with just socks on & touching the wall switch? That's static electricity. It's everywhere, especially where you DON'T want it! Like I said Tommy, just lay it down & call the sherrif. He'll call EOD & probably the local tv station & you'll have your 15 seconds of fame. But at least you'll be alive.

tommy · 09-25-2007, 08:29 AM

well i don't want the 15 seconds of fame because then it would prove i was "TRESSPASSING" but i would like to bring to the publics attention not to throw these things in the garbage because what if i was a kid who found it and decide to smash it with a hammer?

Uncle Harley · 09-25-2007, 01:25 PM

O.K. Tommy, here's a multiple choice question for you. If a plain looking car pulls into your driveway with two guys wearing suits & they walk to your front door, who are they?
A. Bible Salesmen--Probably not
B. Reporters from Cannel 6 News-- Could be
C. FBI or ATF Agents--Likely
I sure wouldn't want to be in possesion of stolen military explosives these days. Your newly found hardware could get you 5 to 10 real easy.

bored2bhere · 09-25-2007, 07:09 PM

that deer catridge is a Winchester Ballistic Silvertip one of the finest brands around at least to me .any way that 20mm needs to go either ur going to lose a hand or be put in jail by the ATF

A-10 · 09-25-2007, 07:20 PM

Turn it in or find a controlled way to destroy it.

tommy · 09-25-2007, 08:29 PM

i brought the 20mm to the sheriff and handed it over i told them i found it on the side of the road. anyways the cop insisted that it was a .50 cal and he banged it down on the desk twice "primer side down" then he went to sit it down and dropped it on his desk.I LEFT.lol

More Cowbell · 09-25-2007, 08:55 PM

well they do sell rounds like that on the market
