With everybody losing their guns in boating accidents

If I could salvage every gun, from every boating accident that has been posted here, I would end up with zero guns!:neener:

But it would be nice to end up with a boat-load of guns after a long day of diving!!:evil: Just don't know how many would end up being worth the work.:eek:

Well, for a revolver, you can drill and tap the bottom of the frame and screw in a QD swivel.

A handy size revolver might not be a bad idea.

It does not have to be a '17 Colt or Smith to have a lanyard ring.

While I'll never post a list of the guns I own, I'm not sure I see the need to say they were all lost in a boating accident. I guess I fail to see the humor in it...
 
I find the whole phrase to be quite annoying as people ask a legitimate question about a person's firearm collection and all they seem to get is the whole boating accident answer.
 
If I'm going to lose them in a "boating accident", should I bother to insure them in the first place? Or should I insure and collect from the insurance company when they're "lost"?

What if they're later stolen??:confused:
 
Nah, everybody just needs to switch over to old AR-7 Survival Rifles -- they float, y'know!

I just haven't had the guts to test mine yet. But I wonder just how water tight that rear cap is.:scrutiny:
 
Call me when you get those 16in guns working again......

It is a humorous way to let people know that it is a rude question. What kind of answer would you get if you asked a person how their wife was in bed, how much money they keep in the house, or what the combo is to their gun safe?
 
A good friend of mine is OSP. He sees a handfull of guns get turned in every year that are brought up by fishing nets. Most people when they find a gun that was dumped or lost in a body of water turn it in immediately for fear it was used in a crime and disposd of. The crime lab restores these guns so they can do balistics tests and enter them into whatever databases they use to catch bg's. So what I am saying guns do end up in the water.

As with any loss, it is up to you to decide if you wish to file a claim or just let it go. After all, it will affect your premium depending on the value of the loss. In the case of the "boating accidents" cited, the better part of wisdom says, don't file a claim. Filing a claim after these kinds of "boating accidents" would be opening up the possibility of fraud charges, not to mention leading us to perdition. ;)

Bottom line is, I don't care what forum I'm on, there is no way I'm providing an inventory for whoever takes the time to register on here. Never post anything on the internet or send in an email any information you wouldn't want on a billboard.

That must be why the HK SP89 pistols have that loop on the butt plate; so you can hang it around your neck.
 
Dunno,never had a HK.

I do have a BHP Mk3 from Aim Surplus that has a lanyard stud on the left side of the frame though.

What I mentioned in previous comment isn't exactly unheard of and certainly isn't an original idea.

As far as my gun collection goes, I was able to swim to shore after a terrible boating accident. :neener:
