The death of a Kit Gun...

[mojave30cal]

Looks like a parts gun to me.

Doesn't look any worse than the
13-2 I bent back in shape.

Does he want to sell it?

 

[Telecaster]

On the bright side, you and she get to shop for a new gun.

 

[Retired W4]

Looks like the job the government did on some Victory models. Ken L?

The first thing that occurs to me too is that the gun in question looks like it was in pretty poor condition before it went under the mower.

I guess it's not my business, but I just don't understand how some people treat their guns.

I've got a couple that have a finish looks the finish on one that was disassembled by the mower.

BUT, I bought them thataway. The chambers and bores are them in fine condition though.

I did the same thing with a ruger .32 hr mag. But I got lucky,the only thing damaged was the grip frame and grips. The bush hog hit the grips and frame and kicked it out before anymore damage. New frame and grips and I'm back in business.

I have a model 17 that I picked up at a gun shop years ago, was rusty pitted and really nasty looking. The grips were broken, and I am pretty sure a previous owner had quite literally used it as a hammer at one time. The bore and chambers were clean though, so I had a layer of cerakote slapped on it, bought some Pachmyer's and never looked back. Gun prints clover leaves at 15 yards with any brand of ammo and always says BANG when I drop the hammer. I don't remember exactly, what I paid for that gun, but I do know it is worth way more that I paid. Sometimes wish more people treated their guns that way, but that's probably my stingy nature coming out.

grounds for divorce

that would be grounds for divorce where I grew up....

The DIVORCE becomes final today.... and then she backed over it for a second shot at it. What do you want to bet that it some how became his fault.

Man that is a shame. I'm fairly active with mountainbiking, hiking, backpacking, fishing, hunting, etc., and I'm always paranoid about a pistol coming loose. My nightmare is having it not found and me endlessly searching, but this is a good second. Also, kudos to them for clearly purchasing one hell of a lawnmower, the one I had to use mowing our lawn as a kid couldn't survive a toy truck left out.

 

[Geronimo Jim]

A little cold blue and it will be fine.

"Sell that collectable revolver and give me half."

 

[Baltimoreed11754]

Rub some dirt on it??? Maybe get her a short rifle or .410 that rides in a scabbard on the mower. Would be easier for her to notice if it vibrated out.

Hi-Point would have sent you back a new gun. I know, you think I'm joking but I am not. You can literally cut one in half and they'll replace it under their warranty.

Yeah, but you'd still have a Hi-Point.

My brother ran his wife's lady Smith thru his snow blower, he leaned over for some reason and it fell out of his pocket. He heard it go thru, and sent it back to Smith & Wesson. I don't remember if they repair it or replace it but he still has it. Now you wonder why someone carries while removing snow from the driveway. He carries all the time, lives in the country by and Interstate Highway and has a problem with drifters on his property all the time.

I carry whenever I'm outside as well. I've killed several rabid raccoons and have had coyotes on the property as well. We also have rattlers and copperheads and have seen a bear about a 1/2 mile from the house. I don't want to shoot a bear, but maybe a shot or two might scare one away if it got too close.

I'm just impressed that his wife understands the need to carry while mowing/doing chores.

 

[NavySCPO]

I would mount the "remains" in a shadow box and hang it on the wall above her side of the bed as a reminder. OK, maybe not the bedroom but some other prominent place where it would be a reminder to handle firearms responsibly.

After my Wife took it out of the shadow box, I would need (in order)...

1) A Gastroenterologist for the colonoscopy, and
2) An Attorney for the divorce.

I don't wonder in the least why one carries under those conditions; I would wonder why they didn't. That's not even a close call.
I do wonder about using such a poor carry method that the revolver can be lost from your control so easily.

My dad is a TV repair man. He has this awesome set of tools. I think I can fix it.
