Haha how did you get them for free?
[Reply]

When I told the lady that I actually have both of those rifles she said ,just take them.
Plus, she actually thought that 40 bucks was too high for the Dunhill lighter.
She even made the statement that for 40 bucks she could get like 38 lighters from a gas station.

Lol don't the lighters go for $50-$200 on ebay depending on condition? That is cool about the field manuals. I have found some of them online but it is cooler to have the original by far. Plus I like holding something in my hand and you can take it with you when you shoot if you wanted to.

Nice collection MJ!
How well do the paronellis smoke?
[Reply]

I've only smoked it once, and it was very windy so not a very good trial run. I hear for as cheap as they are, they smoek fairly well. The draft hole is a little off, but I haven't noticed problems yet.

Here's some of mine (and a little portion of baccy) that I took w/me on a weekend trip last weekend.

SeeingRed, that's a great volcano you have there. Who produced that one?
[Reply]

I know nothing about Pipes but the third one down on the right looks like it was carved from one of Satan's horns!!

Bad Ass MJ :-) :-)
[Reply]

John, believe it or not, it's a Brebbia. I got it b/c I'd never seen another like it - plus, I'd always wanted a volcano. It was a "win-win," in corporate-speak :-)

Only thing that's a bit bothersome about it is the stem is a little looser fitting than I'd prefer. Anyone have easy solutions for such things?
[Reply]

You can heat the tenon and mash it a bit to make it fit. But it is very easy to screw it up. Study up on it first, or take it to a professional in repairs.
[Reply]

Spencer, you might try asking Frank Romeo about the pipe makers in the pipe club over there. I know there are atleast two or three and I am sure they could help you out. I don't know what the charge would be though but I don't think it would be much.
[Reply]

I would send it to a professional.
If it was cheap or i didnt care about it i would do it myself.
Its obviously not cheap and you obviously care about it.
