Here's the newest one. I made this one for a friend to give to his father-in-law. A retired Marine Colonel. Turns out,ten years ago this guy was my CO.

very cool

Nice

I've got more of these and am selling them for $125 if anyone's interested. We can etch anything you want on it.All of them I smuggled back from Afg. They were all fired from a AC-130 Specter Gunship in Afg.

Why so expensive? You already stated you stole the 105... So you are pocketing $125 in profit... You probably use government property to make the damn thing!

On the contrary. I never said I stole it. I smuggled them because customs won't let anything through that has ever been related to ordnance. They have no idea what it means to have a certified inert chunk of brass that has no functioning capability. That's because people are stupid and have tried in the past to mail home hand grenades, functional weapons, etc. So a piece that is difficult to get unless someone like me manages it. Then, the laser etcher isn't cheap. Yes, that does belong to the government, but the maintenance on it isn't. That's on those of us that use it. Lasers for that aren't cheap. Grinding bits, polishing clay, buffing wheels, that I purchase out of my pocket where that $125 is, and the 8 hrs of my time and effort to make these by hand that it takes to make them aren't cheap or easy either. So I hope that answers your question as to why so expensive and rebuts your ignorant remark about using government equipment.

These are sweet! how much for an unfinished shell? I would love to have one of these!

Corber quit your cryin noob!

Weren't you gonna put a smaller shell in the cut outs to rest your cigar on? Looks great either way

Makes sense now. That's what I get for assuming right! My neighbor actually works on the ac130 and he gifted me a 25, 40, and a 105.

IUROX I'll cry if I want too! I've served almost 20 years in the military, and any perceptions I have of abuse of military property I will free to talk about! I've worked with the IG many times and this is the type of activity they love to burn us on! I read what Rich said and I'm good with it! Any active military member thats been in a while will tell you that things ain't the way they used to be and some people have been punished for way simpler stuff! And to top it all off everyone is looking for some sorry @ss excuse to blame the military for something! Oh cut their benefits....blah frickity blah! They're abusing the system! Blah blah blah!

+1

Sheesh dont be so sensitive. Good lord.

noobs.. 🤐 🤐 🤐 🤐

I tried to get the metal shop there to do the rests, but they were just too busy to get to it. I'm working on trying to get them done here, but don't want to advertise it until it's confirmed that I can in fact get the rests braized in. If I can get them, i'll get the rests put in on any already sent out for no cost.

🤔
will braizing discolor them..??

Dunno.....gonna try first and see if it will be worth it.

Here's more of these awesome ashtrays

thats a saweeeet ashtray

If it hit something down range then charge 500.00. Well worth the cost of the lives it saved.
