Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anyone here have some old artillery shells, a SS Canteen, and two old ammo boxes I can trade you ou

Also posted in classifieds, but thought I might get a bit more activity here:

I have been too sick and weak, as well as adle brained and fuzzy headed from meds and bad blood to ride my Harley since about the middle of last July, so thought it a good time to work out a deal with a freind of mine to do some customizing to it while I was waiting to get a Kidney, and a transplant. I am now set for my transplant, as mentioned here before, in March and HOPE to feel like riding again this late spring and summertime.

Anyone have an old empty artillery shell casing or two laying around they can sell me or allow me to trade them out of? How about an old Stainless Steel Canteen? Also need two big green surplus ammo cans.

Over the Winter, and hopefully finishing up while I am in Seattle getting my Kidney Transplant (that will be a whole month ordeal....) my motorcycle mechanic and builder (who recieved a pretty decent lazer sighted 45ACP and a bunch of ammo in trade for his work here but this is still mostly a labor of friendship and fun) is finishing up the turbocharger add on and some cosmetic stuff to give my bike ('03 Harley Sportster/Roadster) a WW ll Warbird look to it. We are adding old ammo cans to the rear fender struts for my luggage bags, a SS Canteen for an oil bag for the turbochargers oiling system, some flying tiger teeth and eyes motief, and other touches.

What we would LIKE to do, to really set this bike apart, is use a couple of old artillery shells with about a 2.5-3.5 inch I.D for my exhaust pipe and turbocharger air intake tube.

Era, original caliber, country of origin not terribly important. He will cut, chop, weld as needed to marry the parts together. Only requirement being at least a 2.5 inch ID (3in or more is better)and in not rusted out condition.

Whatchagot?

Thanks in advance.

I am planning for another shot a life, in full again. My kidney is coming from a first cousin of mine.

I need one to have a shot at life, too. But unlike some might do, I am already looking forward to my life after being this sick this long. It as been a long and not fun haul, three years worth of just the worst part. FWIW, one cannot be considered for a Kidney Transplant until they are on the brink of death or Dyalysis, which I most certainly am.

Have any more value judgements to make based upon inadequate data and mis information?

If you are ever faced with a potential life ending disease, you can choose how you plan to give yourself some hope for the other side of said illness however you wish to. This is my way of having some things to look forward to while I am doing all of my rehab etc. And, my friend is doing this for me in large part to also give me a hope and dream to hang onto during some soon coming very dark days.

My great grandfather died from this, as did my grandfather. Both at a younger age than I am right now. Surviveability of this surgery with both of my old kidneys coming out is not 100%, either.

But it is well known that faith, along with hopes and dreams to look forward to help much in getting one through an ordeal like the one I have coming. 30 days worth at a minimum, before I can come home and continue a long rehab.

I HOPE to feel up to riding the motorcycle sometime after my surgery, and a good friend is fixing it up for me so that I am even more excited about it and the prospects.

Dude...

Another real safariman experience?

If someone wasn't manipulating members or running another con, they
would find this stuff on ebay in 30 seconds.

UFB.

Actually, faith alone is sufficient.

Guns, bikes, etc are just as much a preoccupation before as they are after potential life changing events.

May want to re-evaluate your post operative life choices.

Thanks, you remembered me!

Oh I bet it gets PLENTY of activity both here and in the Classifieds.

Pathetic.....

I really hope this turns into another UBER safariman thread. This could get really good.

I am just waiting for a second hand, only slightly used Kidney to appear in the classified!

" three years worth of just the worst part."

Time DOES fly, but it doesn't seem THAT long ago that Big Bad You,and Your Big Black SIL, were ready to beat hell out of anyone that dared show up at your place.

Yep, he was loaded for woodchuck and shot the azz off a Bear

Link for the laugh?

Ebay or any decent gun show. Hell, a good size Army Surplus shop would likely have it.

safariman is somehow having a double rifle that might be in hand later this year, and somehow sourcing a .45ACP with laser grips (that must have been a trade deal done), buying stuff at Cabelas and on here, and yet can't manage to get the cheapest of crap from Ebay or any number of online surplus dealers.

I agree with kamo_gari and RWE; priorities are skewed to an amazing degree.

The one that was going to father an entire offensive line with his daughter?

That was epic.

Not "plans to build a WWII styled Harley Roadster while on the brink of death epic". But still, pretty fuggin' epic.

Dude!

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a canteen? There are probably less than 12 billion in circulation right now.

Trades considered!



Travis

Yeah, I'm just hording the couple stainless ones I have waiting for the market to spike.

If safariman is going all the way across the state to UW to get his miracle transplant, you'd have to think he'd pass plenty of surplus shops along the way.

Of course, that's the location with the miracle KOA that's a perfect recovery unit for post-kidney transplants.



Then again, that's over in that area of the state where he couldn't attend a rally against I594:



For someone to be like this:



There's a helluva lot of traveling anticipated, and a lot of dealing around going on.
