Thnx Joe for posting as I don't have any pics of the gun myself.
I guess those who know me understand that I love to have fun and think outside the box so to speak.
Ive had this idea of a re-bar barrel for about 20 years and talked my good friend Ron Smith to give it a whirl last winter. Its weldable rebar and that's all I know about it. After drilling and reaming I started to get a good feeling that this might be more then a joke and might even shoot. 
It gave Ron a bit of a tough time rifling but looked good. Instead of putting it on a old hywall Ron talked me into trying it on my Yost...... To make a long story short it was a joke that turned out to work so the joke was on me an Ron I guess.
After some breaking in and testing I used it at the Canadian regional's with great success and then planned on the Raton day-view. 
I knew most would think it was a crazy idea but  knowing how good it shoots I was hoping to do my part and prove it.
The best part of the whole event was my great friend Connie Grims saying " I love it".
Now that's a compliment.

You're stuck with it now Tom!  You contour that rebar barrel and just know it'll change the harmonics.     The bubble gum and wire scope mounts send it way over the top.   

Let me know if you decide to weld on it. I'll get a welding procedure ready for submittal.    I think it just has to be preheated.  You could tack scope bases on it and not kink it one bit.

Ditch witch checkering would be too coarse...needs to be done by a Rottweiler or a Pit Bull!

Bubble gum & bailing wire to attach the bases!
