One Hole I Thought I Would Never Fill

Looks off center about 30 degrees?

I think PCGS would grade it at least a 60, cleaned. I can see what appears to be whizzing around the case neck.

You should see the sweet 38 I have. WOLF

When I was about 12 years old, made a gun that fired .22 longs. I found a piece of thick walled tube of just the right inside diameter about 6" long, so I took advantage of it.

Won't go into much detail on how I made it for obvious reasons, suffice to say it was operated by pulling back a firing pin the same way a kid would use a catapult. The breech area was covered with a substantial piece of steel. The spent case had to be ejected manually after every shot.

The gun worked surprisingly well, and I fired quite a large number of shots with it. However, even at 12 years old, I felt responsible enough to eventually break the weapon apart, to stop it from falling into the wrong hands.

I have even made solid fuel rockets making my own gunpowder, with kerosene as a paste to mould the fuel into the rocket casing. One of these rockets had about 3 pounds of fuel in it, the fuel was to be ignited with fuse wire up the exhaust nozzle. I wisely considered that particular rocket was too dangerous, and dismantled it, never to be test flown. Much smaller ones, using bamboo as the casing, were quite successful.

Interestingly, detailed information on the construction of atomic warheads is in the public domain and is easily found. Absolutely none of this information is clandestine in any way, and has been released officially.

That's what I've always heard called a zip gun. Never made one myself but have seen some, including one that fired a 12 gauge shell.

Did you actually think that you had a SHOT at filling the hole? Maybe it is just a BLANK!!

still lookin: In drag racing terms, getting away first is otherwise known as a 'hole shot'.
