I need to shoot holes in some steel things, from 100 yards (Page 2/5) Jake_Dragon AUG 16, 10:02 AM quote Originally posted by maryjane: I checked. Too far out of date for any of the local gas outfits to take them. The local metal recycler will not take them if they are not cut in 1/2 or full of holes. I do have a horizontal band saw but I'm not crazy about cutting into one that I'm not sure about it's contents. Contact the closest fire department. If they cant help then bury them in a hole with the valve sticking up and knock it off. You want to control the bottle and be far enough away incase it gets interesting. Hank is Here AUG 16, 11:07 AM quote Originally posted by LitebulbwithaFiero: He does not know if they are empty The weak point is still the valves. What about building a wooden cradle and weights guillotine that could snap off the valves? FieroSTETZ AUG 16, 12:46 PM quote Originally posted by Jake_Dragon: Contact the closest fire department.

And of course absolutely record video, for posterity's sake Probably nothing will happen, but if it does... video! williegoat AUG 16, 01:14 PM step 1) Give the bottle to a Democrat. step 2) Tell him to make sure it doesn't get damaged. step 3) Go home and watch the news. maryjane AUG 16, 01:17 PM The salvage yards used to accept them with valves removed. No more. One of the reasons I want holes in the bottom is to then cut the bottom end off and make a 3 tube wind gong. Scroll down a ways. I've seen it done and you can hear the things 1/2 mile away. https://www.pirate4x4.com/t...nk-question.1429770/ Hank is Here AUG 16, 03:15 PM To cut off the bottoms of the tanks without a spark/fire could you rent or borrow from a plumber friend a soil pipe cutter? quote Originally posted by maryjane: The salvage yards used to accept them with valves removed.

If you can do that you can loosen the valve body slowly and the gas will slowly bleed out. blackrams AUG 18, 03:30 PM quote Originally posted by olejoedad: Can you get a big pile wrench on the valve bodies and get them to turn in the cylinder?

Rams ls3mach AUG 19, 02:44 AM No actual experience Don. I rented a house once and the guy leasing volunteered he had a 300 WINMAG and that it would stop an engine block. I have 3 consecutive numbered. I always forget the brand. A Belgium rifle. I have never shot any of them. Field Grade 3 if that'll help you know the brand. They aren't in my home safe. $1000 optics that aren't mounted or sighted if you want to borrow. Bring it back sighted or cash. I'm good either way.
