Broomhandle test

[Leadeye]

Put new springs in this 1930 Broomhandle a while back and just now got it out for a trial, works quite well with the cast lead ammo I've been working with in another gun. Going to have to modify the ammo as it's not working in the Mauser carbine or the CZ-52.

I thought this was going to be a post about using a broomhandle to detect dry steam leaks.

I normally just use my tape measure since I always have it on me. High pressure steam is no joke!

Very cool. I had a broomhandle years ago, a Bolo model. I sent it to Redman’s out in Washington state, if I remember. Back then you could get Tok ammo super cheap, so I ordered a case of it and pulled bullets and reloaded with Bullseye, I believe. New springs were highly recommended to me and I took that warning. It was fun to play with. Wish I could have put a shoulder stock on it.

C'mon, what would I know about dry steam leaks.

I thought this was going to be about making two bromhandles out of one using a 55lb alligator snapper. Just cause I have seen this happen. Quit swimming in the cow pond my brother dragged that bad boy out of.

...and it isn't a joke of "why don't witches wear panties?" either...

I'm very envious of your broomhandle. I need to find one for myself.

Broom Handles are an aesthetic, wish Bergmann's or Brochardts were as obtainable

Is it possible to get a video of you firing that? I'd love to see it in action. I've only seen them in movies firing.

I'll talk to my son about the video, here's a picture of me shooting a different one.
