Many miles and many tears. Times were hard but now they're changing.

whole thing weighs 49pds,

but i just use bread, making toast, one hell of a boom,

Yes, dad said they are built to fire. I don't think he's ever fired one though.

And those barrels are not 2' long. The large ones are closer to 1'.

John,
That would make a great bear deterrent and you could probably get your tounge weight just right with one of those... Ranger might not like it though. :shock:
