Drag lakes with magnets, turn in guns at so called "buy backs" in order to make money for new guns or just restore the found guns?

Well, the lake here is 1,150' deep, so I'd need a long ass rope to go magnet fishing.

Apple cider vinegar or white vinegar, I cant remember which. It will dissolve the rust. Just dont place any aluminum in it.

There was a thread where a guy cleaned up a Mini 14 that had been on a sunken fishing boat for a while. I can't find it now though.

If you were boating in the Gulf of Maine, they'd be in about 200+ feet of salt water.
That might put a new spin on "salt bath". |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It ended up matte silver, but I can't recall if it was blued or stainless originally. I've checked my subs, but it isn't showing up. The backstory was a family members commercial fishing boat sunk in the Pacific and the gun was recovered after being submerged in a storage locker for quite a while. It was a mess.

I never knew about the YouTube channel. Nice work Andrew! I spent time with my morning coffee checking out your channel. Good quality work with some humor thrown in!
By the way, it looks like you have a great place to shoot. If you'd say that was your back yard, I'd really be envious. I have my own backyard range, but nothing like that! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The whole idea of a "Boating Accident" is that there really isn't an accident. We know that and so do the authorities. It may make for some knee jerk jokes on the internet but better to just plead the 5A and tell them nothing except you demand a lawyer. |

I'd never take all of my guns on a boat. Hell, I never take them all anywhere. Too many for that.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Oh man! How did things turn out? I'm guessing ok? That had to be heartbreaking to see! Our house was built in 1982 and others around us all the way back to the early 1960's. Never had any issues with flooding until 2017(62 inches of rain with Hurricane Harvey) and again in 2019(45 inches of rain with Imelda). Too much invested here to take a few hundred grand of a loss to get out. $450.00 a year still gets me $350,000.00 worth of flood insurance. Maybe it never happens again, maybe I get real efficient with rebuilding a flooded house. Keeping my eyes peeled for any decent options. Attached File |

A guy in my social circle was questioned about a homicide committed with an antique revolver he happened to have something similar to (WWI era). Honest to God he told the detectives it fell out when he was boating on the river a week or two earlier, which was plausible because he had witnesses who saw it strapped to his thigh when he was on the water. The irony being that one of his friends on the boat is into cowboy action shooting, so the only way the cops even knew Skippy had something so particular was because he had decided to be flashy about it that day and Cowboy had taken note of make and model.
Ended up catching Skippy literally trying to swim the Rio Grande after telling him not to leave town. With the gun in his pack. So... formerly in my social circle. Now doing 20 to 40. I'd never heard the `boating accident` meme before today. Thanks, OP. |
