How about digging a deep trench and burying it? If it goes off under

ever--it will be too rusty to fire.

Ive taken a dead blow hammer to the range when working on firearms with
similar issues. Generally works pretty well, or a good solid plastic
faced hammer and giving it a solid WACK on the bolt or action over the
fireing mechanism.

Nearly every firearm can be repaired if the guts are spotty. Why destroy
it? If your lathe has a hung gear in the QC box..do you take a torch to
it?

The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose
and for someone else to pay when things go wrong.

In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology
has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence,
and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years
.. It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints,
and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been
as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.
