There photos are of a Sig Sauer Pro that was left in an electric oven at 210°c / 400°f for 20 minutes by a French police officer. After cleaning it he put it in to dry but was distracted by a phone call.
I propose this as a candidate Xavier’s Ugly Gun Sunday.

It was introduced in 1886 and served through WWI. It was made obsolete in 1929 with the introduction of the 7.5×54mm MAS mod. 1929 (7.5 French) cartridge.
Gary Sterne discovered the huge ‘Maisy Battery’ after he found a crinkled map which fell out of an old pair of US serviceman’s trousers at a military memorabilia fair in Stockport.

He discovered an extensive installation “the size of four football pitchesâ€, including bunkers, offices, a sizeable field hospital - less its roof - and housing for 155mm cannon.
Very cool!

I want this blog to appeal to a worldwide audience and so I will be focusing on firearms and shooting rather than country specific politics. There are already many great blogs defending your rights!
