Yeah, I saw that last night, and I thought, whats the point?

Even as a paperweight you run a good chance of needing a Tetanus shot.

Guys,

Do any of you remember the gentleman that had the Drum Magazine for sale a couple of years ago and the price was on the High Side? He said if he did not get his price, he would drive his tractor over it before taking less dollars. Do you thing this may the same Drum Mag, LMAORF!

It looks like the "crank" handle has been cobbled together from a 20 penny nail. The leverage of this thing on the drum spring may have been the first step to it's current condition.

I think the magazine was cracked open after it was found, to check whether there were still bullets inside.
