This is unbelievable! Even funnier that he's got a reserve on it.

My wife and I used to have tables at gunshows around Wyoming, we would frequently meet a fellow who would come by and ask if we had any "blow ups" or did we know anyone that had any. It was just something that interested him.

I guess it takes all kinds...

For maybe $19.00 you can have this conversation piece!

I bought a few blown barrels from shotguns,rifles,and pistols for use in the hunter safety program I taught for 15 years. I tried to find ones,where folks plugged the muzzle with snow or mud,and others that used the wrong caliber or gauge,squid loads in a pistol or auto.and destroyed the firearm. There is nothing like these examples to get the point across to the younger crowd. Had a Remington 870 12ga that someone slipped a live 20ga in the tube, loaded a 12ga right behind it and touched it off. Excellent display. But this barrel we are looking at here. I don't what it would be useful for.

If it was only a Creedmoor with lifetime supply of ammo for toots up in Alaska.

Right then, the lion turned and came full steam at us. The guide had said there were no lions in this district at this time of year, so I was only carrying the 30/06. You'll never believe what happened next....
