“The 132 year-old rifle, exposed to sun, wind, snow, and rain was found
leaning against a tree in the park.
What do you mean, "I don't Think So"? I didn't pull that out of my ass.
The Pic in #16 is exactly how they found the weapon!
Good Freaking Grief.
First, I did not mean that as a personal attack on you. It was just a friendly remark. I apologize for doubting your exact knowledge of what went on there since you were obviously there when they found it.
How else would you KNOW that pic#16 is EXACTLY how they found it? I look at the picture and I see the brush pushed down where the stock went onto the ground, which IMHO would not be that way if the rifle had been there awhile.
IMHO they picked up the rifle, then realized they should have taken a picture, tried to replace it, then took a picture.
You were there and I am wrong. Sorry.
