He must have been bottom fishing for catfish? Semi-automatic rifles don't float, do they?

Re: Man Reels in Semi-Automatic Rfile
Probably not worth keeping and since it was at the bottom of a lake it was probably used in a crime and or stolen. I wouldn't want anything to do with that and would've also called the police.

Re: Man Reels in Semi-Automatic Rfile
Guess depends on the damage done, think there aluminum so no rust. Change some internals maybe a new upper, o yeah call in the serial number to see if it's stolen or lost first. If not free gun or lower at least. What's that saying "finders keepers" lol

Classic thread!
CBS is enhancing on their Anti-gun yellow journalism creds by titling their article "Man Reels in Automatic Rifle While Fishing..."
Fake news... that Bill Gate's MSN picked up and is promoting. Can we terminate Bill's account for violating terms of service?

Re: Man Reels in Semi-Automatic Rfile
The barrel, at a minimum is not aluminum, so rust could be an issue, but most parts of the gun should be salvageable. I agree with the check to see if it's stolen, but if not, then treat it just like anything else of value that you happen to find. For most people, that means keeping it.narcissist wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 8:26 amGuess depends on the damage done, think there aluminum so no rust.

Well it would also be partially correct to say that a pebble is a weapon of mass destruction It just depends on the definition of the word "mass".KC5AV wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 11:11 amI’d say they’re half right...it’s a semi automatic.Paladin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 9:21 am Classic thread!
