And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Since there is a Zippo and a Ferrocium rod I’m think that the plug of wood is used to make dry shavings to catch a flame or spark, a rifle with a fire kit essentially .
Good thought Anon 12:07 - your explanation makes sense to me. To me, drilling a hole in wood and securing in same loop as ferro rod would make even more sense. Fire accellerant in the wild is a good thing !
Is that... God's Own Caliber?
ReplyDeleteLooks like 45-110 ? Got heaps of 45-70 for my Sharps’s.
ReplyDeleteSo you got three loaded rounds on the rifle stock and two fired rounds? Don't tell me those are wadcutters. And is that a .45 ACP with a stick in it?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking maybe it's a dummy round to use instead of leaving an empty chamber.
