jackinbox99 41 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Can convert it into a sawn off now mate Joke. Before anyone takes it seriously. Actually, joking aside, the gun will probably now be worth a lot more if you can get it de-activated, and saw it off. I have seen sawn off deactivated shotguns advertised for decent money - aimed at film studios / props / antique collectors etc... In fact, they sell for a lot more than a decent working non deactivated shotgun sells for. Quote Link to post
matt_hooks 188 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 In answer to your initial question, yes, it's happened to lots of people over the years. Ususally it's the breech that goes, and takes off the blokes face/head, so your barrel burst at the end is fairly fortunate, though I bet it made you say "gosh" rather loudly! I've seen all sorts of guns do it, it's almost invariably a barrel obstruction of some sort. Dunno about having it sawn off, that's one to get deactivated and keep, it's a hell of a story!

I have read a number of Clint's posts on here and always understood what he was saying. Although the technical english is not perfect it is about communicating and Clint is good at that with valuable info. Just felt someone should stick up for him Quote Link to post

matt_hooks 188 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 I would stick up for Clint, but he's more than capable of looking after himself. And if you're having trouble understanding him then that reflects more on you than on him! One day we will teach him all about the definite article, and other wonderful English language constructs, but in the meantime he is perfectly understandable and has lots of knowledge to impart.

liftboy1 0 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Where abouts is clint from? He seems quite knowledgeable, but you do have to read his post twice to understand, but Il read 4 or 5 times for good advice! He seems a nice guy offering a falconer a weekend of bbq`s if he can watch a falconer hunt, cant fault that! Quote Link to post

matt_hooks 188 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Zook. That's misleading! The Mythbusters lot seem to be inclined to miss out possibilities to disprove a "myth"! Quote Link to post
