Re: Guy Remodeling His Bathroom Finds A Gun
I don't see any rounds showing through the cylinder gap with the frame. What makes you think it's loaded?

Re: Guy Remodeling His Bathroom Finds A Gun
Why would anyone bury a gun? Think about it a minute. That aside, I find it rather exciting to explore old houses and their inner structures and finding shit like this. |

Re: Guy Remodeling His Bathroom Finds A Gun
Now this is strange. My parents moved into an old house built in 1920 in 1963 and found a .32 swivel joint H&R inside a drawstring bag. It was corroded as hell too from the humidity and still loaded. It's doubtful the previous owners owned it. They were a very old couple that were lifetime employed by Salvation Army with high rank that had lived in the house for about 15 years prior. There were two sets of shelves in a closet and it was tucked in the extreme corner of the top one. It wasn't found until many years later when my mom got on a ladder to do some cleaning. These revolvers were potentially dangerous and most all ranges prohibited this type of action by the 1970's due to the latch. The webley above is a totally different class of pistol. I knew a guy that had a british WW2 vintage .455 and the construction was very robust and as legendary as our M1911/A1 .45's
