Thank you so much for the post and pictures! Many, many years ago the yet-to-be-born me gave my father one of these as a Father's Day gift. My pregnant mother didn't know a lot about firearms but she wanted to start things off right in the marriage and with regard to the relationship between her husband and his son, so she sent away and had one of these shipped to the house. I am told that she wrapped it up very nicely and proudly presented it to him on Father's Day along with a card explaining that it was from the yet-to-be-born me. Once again, I'm told that he was thrilled, at least outwardly, but inwardly I think he was a little disappointed. Certainly, he was very touched as well as grateful and appreciative of her efforts, but it really wasn't much of a firearm. It was one of the sub-calibers for which ammunition wasn't available, there were literally countless examples flooding the markets and he really didn't quite know what to do with it. So after several months of careful consideration and thought as well as my arrival (although I don't remember him consulting me!) he decided to turn it into a floor lamp. The made a small, 4-legged milking-type stool and bolted it to the stool with it pointing upright. Then he ran a wire through the bottom of the stool, up the outside of the stock to the chamber which he left open for the wire. He than ran the wire up the barrel and out the muzzel where he fix a lamp bale which held a three-way switch and a shade on top secured by a nice, decorative finial. It sat in our family room for years and I always enjoyed seeing it and knowing the story. Thank you for bringing back those memories.
