OT - Who puts nickels on their gun barrels?

DerbyDad03 · 2013-01-08T22:26:03+00:00

I was just talking to a co-worker, who happens to be a hunter, so sheknows a bit about guns. She said that when she was young she used tomess with her brother by "moving his nickels".When I looked at her quizzically, she said that he used to putknickels on the top of his gun barrels to prevent the dust from goingdown the barrels. When I asked her if that was a normal thing that gunowners do, she said he was the only one she knew of that did it.Has anybody heard of that practice before?

I was trying to picture the size of crack he was caulking :)

Somewhere I have some plastic gizmos that were sold at the supply houses that a long plastic nail like piece and an end that was threaded to screw into the calk tube tip and seal it. When you were ready to use the calk again, you twisted it out and any hardened calk came out with the tail piece. ^_^
