    Investigating a former arms dealer’s property I found this low wall made of an estimated 10,000 old rifle barrels, all military, various types, from many countries. The box on top may contain an anti-tampering device so I didn’t even leave the truck. I won’t disclose the location since I know who owned them and if the price is that of scrap steel, might get them to weld into a picket fence or something. I think they are still there because there’s not much use for them especially in that “heavily patinated” condition.

    I think a picket fence is an awesome idea! No one will have to wonder where you stand on the 2nd Amendment!:joyful:

    If you use a Visa to buy them, would that make them into a picket charge? I'm not sure what else you could do with them either, in that condition. At the moment they're busy being mouse and chipmunk habitat.

    If you buy them, what are you going to do about the box on top?

    If the present property owner isn’t sure what’s in box, About 2 oz. of C-4 molded onto special copper cone form I have, big end facing down, just above box on end of long stick carrying det wires, get behind a large tree, phone sheriff about noise expected, don earmuffs, push button, end of obstruction. A few dozen barrels may be bent. Blasting cap has to be near apex of cone for best effect. Do not try this at home!

    Well last time I was at the warehouse I checked the rack containing among other useless s___, “rifle barrels, unsaleable.” There are about 200 in excellent condition that fit an 1890’s Italian bolt-action military rifle few people have and fewer want to have. So that’ll be my “picket charge” fence when I move to someplace without the severe neighborhood covenants and zoning restrictions I live under now.

    Abandoned this thing, couldn’t see any gain coming from it, plus the owners are wierd. We already have at least hundreds of military rifle barrels in much better condition and there doesn’t seem to be much market for them.
