Post by: Hardwood83 on January 15, 2015, 08:45:47 AM

Very cool story about a Model 1873 Winchester discovered in Great Basin National Park. Would love to know the story behind this: http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2015/01/14/Mystery-132-year-old-rifle-found-in-national-park/6301421266367/#ph4/?&_suid=142133284390505514267577563672 (http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2015/01/14/Mystery-132-year-old-rifle-found-in-national-park/6301421266367/#ph4/?&_suid=142133284390505514267577563672)

hold it.  You mean to tell me that gun has been sitting there for maybe 100+ years and it didnt kill anyone?

I thought "guns kill people"?

Was going to ask, how come the tree didn't grow around the firearm if it was there for so long.  Guess since the tree was dead, would have something to do with it.  Never mind.
