Evil Clay Rifle
« on: October 17, 2009, 09:39:34 PM »
When I was a teenager I made an M16 out of modeling clay after seeing pictures in a magazine. That was as close as I got to the real thing until I joined the Army. I came across this picture tonight and wondered if anyone else ever made a model gun.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

That's pretty good Frank, better than any model of an Enfield No4 that I tried to make. I'm gonna steal your pic though to show the Feds the unfortunate result of that terrible boat fire in which I lost ALL my guns........... ;)       MP
Best Wishes, Mike.

I don't know if there is a statute of limitations on this activity, so my lips fingers are sealed  :-X

I made a bazooka out of a curtain rod, crimped M-1 casings and gun powder. No pictures though. Still have all my fingers too.
