Hey, gun nuts!

[Frizzle_Fry]

Ignore the above.

.38 Police Positive started 1911 production with serial number 40000, so apparently it was made in 1911.

If only it were a 1911 =(

Would these be the gun nuts of which you speak?

Anyone know if this ammunition is still useable?

Hey, those .223 rounds really sting at 5000 meters.

post a pic of the bullets, make one of the bottom of the round. If it was in airtight cans with desiccant packs and it should last indefinitely

Guess we're safe in case a horde of slow-moving beer cans invades the yard.

I should have thought to take some pics of individual rounds. It's been stored in the box in an attic crawlspace for, probably, decades.

Most likely no good then.

I figured as much. How does one dispose of rotten ammo?

Give it to a rotten friend. I pull the bullets de-cap them and reload them.
They would be considered toxic waste, so don't just toss them in the trash.

You will need a more specific model number, but this page maybe what you need.

Thanks! I just found the age of my Woodsman. Its older then I thought

You want 50 .38 special rounds and nearly 350 .22 LR?

The hazardous shipping fee would kill you.

A quick google shows many call their local PD and they take them for safe disposal.

I wouldn't tell UPS what was in the box.

I figured as much. I'm sure a gun shop could do something with them as well.

Hell, maybe I should just take the .38 to a range and shoot them. So what if they fizzle?

I'm not individually loading 350 .22 rounds, though.

lol......22 aren't re-loadable.
Worst case one might get stuck in the barrel from low power.

Maybe I'll burn some trash in a barrel and toss the .22 rounds in one at a time.

Wear your kevlar vest.

Nonsense. The projectile don't fly unless the explosion is contained. This I know from lots of experience.

It will be contained, with the brass shell. Try it and let us know how it worked out.

Been there, done that. The brass gives and fragments. The lead might go a little ways, but not with any real force.

Drop them off at your local PD.

No shit.

What do you think of the rifle? ^^^^

 

[Lost Cause]

I never even realized that in the OP I posted "police special," when it's a police positive, .38 special.

This seems unnecessarily confusing.

oh, in that case 1911.....

Looks great, .22's are good little target fun guns. Plus if you want to eat a squirrel it can get you one.

That model was produced between 1936 -1971.
