    Father's Day Gift

    The boy's are both struggling so I wasn't expecting anything from them. Did have them, wives, and grandkids over for the day. Granddaughter works at a local water park and had to work so I took the trike down to pick her up when she got off.

    Eldest cooked a small brisket and some sausages with all the trimmings and we all spent time in the pool.

    The wife presented me with a 'new' gun. It's called the "Little Atom" and is a working blank pistol. Couldn't find out much about them. Seems to be a Japanese knock off of an Austrian made gun. Everything I found says they were made in the '50's and the round butt version is supposed to be the earlier made ones. It also has a fully bored barrel while later versions are drilled with an exhaust on the underside of the barrel.

    It came with 2 capsules of ammo but I still haven't decided if I want to actually fire it.......

    Picture was found on line but is the same as mine.

    Don, aka Pappy,

    I love those type of suprises. And I remember seeing one similar years ago.

    Glad you had a great Father's Day!

      Now that is a tiny one. I have seen one just a little bigger that fires bullets. Good thing that one only shoots blanks. Could you imagine an Opps moment if it wasn't pointed just right?
      One thing is for sure, Kids never show all the cards to the Parents. I am constantly amazed with the knowledge and resourcefulness of my Step Son.
      I often try to school him on things that I don't think he is aware of only to be schooled right back on parts that I didn't know.
