in my neck of the woods "flea markets" are old cast offs and are just that. Used Junk. Congrats of a great find :thumbsup:
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

20 years ago the flea markets here provided me with many milsurps, my record was 26 at one show within 1 hour of walking in the gate. Guy was selling off his late brothers collection of " old army junk" and they were prices lower than anything you will find today. After 9-11 it started to peter out, today after the Newtown mess I would be lucky to find even a gun part.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Wow Junk Yard Dog, that's amazing! This particular flea market is well known for always having guns. Unfortunately it's also well known for having a lot of overpriced guns. I've gotten some really good deals there in the past, but most are just gun related, lol. Holsters, bullet molds, scopes, Civil War bullets, etc.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
