    Rusty relic. 303 longtom

    Here'sa cool old piece. Rusty and full of borer and dry rot It's very original and complete and it would still actually fire. It was found under a house and by the looks its been there for years! Thanks to private joker here I now have a matching condition bayonet to go on the end of it

    Why do I never find these under houses?! I am a builder and spend enough time looking in those sorts of places.
    It is just not fair.

    No I will leave this one just as it is. Its just something different in its current state. I have better ones than this to use if I want anyhow.

    Wonder if this was stored there by a Home guardsman?
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
