I'm going to see if I can find one made on American contract- they had some overruns on time and spotty reliability, but good collectors value. There was the later "chalk" version as well, the 1889/16 I wouldn't mind having.

A rock? Really? You're going to call the Municion L.M.P a rock? That thing took years of development and refinement by the military to make it what it became.

Trying to decide if under the NFA this would be an AOW and would only cost me a fiver, or if they are gonna say it exceeds .50 caliber and is therefore a Destructive Device I can't have. Regardless, if I can find an original brass handled model of 1889, it won't matter because it's before 1898 and should be considered an Antique . If I'm seeing this wrong, please correct me.

In Nordic countries, the rock is smoothed out, the handle is on the top, and you target practice on an ice rink, yelling at your team mates to "sweep faster". It's an olympic event.

The fact that he was able to deliver the entire video in his usual style with timelines/revisions/history was seriously on point. The helper who wrote it deserves a reward. And Ian keeping a straight face for nearly the entire time was perfect.
