Storing gun powder. That's what it has been used for on my gun, but I haven't read the specs yet to see if that was a kosher application. I've had them for about six hours now. I'll update if any better information is provided. (Boss Lady doesn't want me waving them around the house, so I'll dig into them when she goes to work tomorrow.)

Unlikely.

Powder is kept in a horn or flask so it can be poured down the barrel.

How are you going to pour out of the buttstock into the barrel? It 'd be a good trick.

The buttstock compartment is for storing patches, lube and balls.

I thought you told us you know all about guns.

Re the highlighting: He didn't say he was certain of its purpose, he said he would look into it.

I suppose he could be some sort of superninja who doesn' t understand the most fundamental of equipment of the trade.

But it would be like a commmercial airline pilot not being cognizant of the function of a propeller on a J-3 Cub.....

Don' t make excuses for the sorriest of excuses.

The guy is a bullshitter.

In the past year, I've picked up a nice piece of pewter by the Keswick School of Industrial Art for 50p and a Peugeot pepper mill for £2.

Together, they are worth north of £200.

I bought a 2 man tent a few years back. The zip didn't work.

Reminds me. About 20 years ago I found a canvas tent at a garage sale. $20. It was stuffed in a big burlap bag - and the poles wrapped together in duct tape. 

I figured the canvas was worth it - because this was a big tent.

Upon getting it home - I tried setting it up. Amazingly - it was 100% intact. It was 9 ft. X .14 ft. A "Ted Williams" brand. All of the screens and zippers were in good condition.

In one of the windows - the previous owner had stuck her diamond earvrings - I guess so they wouldn' t get lost.. Worth $250.

Yeh, but do they suit you?  Useless if not.
