Default Re: Found some old bullets in my car!!

I found a 7 shot Sears Defender pistol in my Tudor.There was an old tin box full of tools,parts,and a broken glass jug of oil.The oil had turned into grease,so I poured some gas in it,covered it and left it outdoors for a few weeks.Every so often I would give it a stir,and after a while I started pulling parts out of it.I got most of the original tool kit,a dual wiper setup,some vulcanizing clamps,plugs,points,the gun and dozens of other little doo-dads.I thought the gun was stainless at first,but it is nickel plated,just preserved by the oil.It is more accurate then some other modern guns I have with the same 2-1/2 inch barrel.

Wow, you got all of that out of a "jug of oil"??

I found this in the door of my Town Sedan...
