One for the Thorster

I would venture to say that as ugly as this beast is...if you lube it and trade firing pins that it will still be a good shooter...

The seller says that it disassembles okay... but it won't fire. Some past owner has probably broken the firing pin tip off... The exterior may be pitted, but as long as it hasn't been in a fire... the steel should still be structurally sound...

So it's ugly... so what? It is still an original artillery and would make not only a great wallhanger... but a wallhanger that shoots!

You can even legally hang a reproduction Artillery Stock on it...

If I had the money... I'd buy it to save wear and tear on my own Artillery...
