I went to africa recently and shot a bull elephant with ivory weighing around 75lbs. I was very excited and for some reason was compeled to stick my brand new rifle into the elephant's anus. Unfortunately after extraction I was horrified to observe a terribly corroded barrel. Frowner Now a rotten odor lingers, any suggestions on removing it? Thank You.

New to Hunting?

I thought that everyone knew that when sticking your gun in an Elephants Ass you need to use a condom.

Was it Fun? clap

Seriously, try taking a shower and using anti bacterial soap.

When they told you to get a bit of "tail" from the ele to signify it was yours I think they meant something else.

Thanks.....I haven't laughed this hard in a very long time.....

Clean your barrel with toilet bowl cleaner.

"I felt compelled...." Your'e not serious! Must be something in the 'magic' of Africa that I've somehow missed so far. I think I have now read it all on AR. Still being dumbstruck by the post, I would suggest a competent gunsmith. Any out there that would like to take this one on?

Might I suggest cleaning your rifle with shampoo. Preferably the same shampoo you use to clean your head when you pull it out of your ass?

Regards,

Terry

Lack of respect for the animal aside, I agree with T.Carr.

Maybe it is the god of the hunt giving you a little something to think about. Better protect the rifling fast, that last few inches of the barrel are really important to accuracy.

Sorry for your situation. Wish I something more to offer! But...sounds as if you took a great ele. If you don't mind me asking, where did you take it and who were you hunting with?

Hey, we just found a new profession for Wynwood/cats/driver & Carmello aka Mitchell Attlewood. An asshole cleaning rod for elephants.
Say, here's an observation: What do all these guys have in common?. Everytime one of their names come up, the use of the word asshole always finds it's way into the conversation. Fascinating.....jorge

I suggest you leave it just as it is ... the perfect elephant gun. Customs will open the case for a total of three seconds and you can smoke cigars while you're hunting! thumb

Butchloc, please allow me to hijack this thread, while trying to get something worthwhile out of this …..whatever.

What do you have against a Blaser? It’s a design that does not appeal to me esthetically, but I’ve been rather impressed with what I’ve seen on safari.

What’s your take on the Blaser?

Riaan,

It seemed clear to me that Butchloc feels Blasers are the perfect tool to use when giving elephants an enema! Big Grin

Eric, I will have to bow to Butchloc’s (supposedly) superior knowledge regarding enemas, but I sure reckon this rifle will also work great for less “soiled†applications.

I think maybe that I've found my nitch in life. I will produce a solvent for removing elephant crap from rifle barrels. Market it with the saying "removes all the crap from the barrel on the first application".

I think he got his "rifle" and "gun" confused.

I have heard penicillen works for clearing up problems like that.

Maybe a good antibiotic ointment.

If not give it a good scrubing with a mixture of gasoline, and bleach. Should cure things up quick. killpc killpc clap pissers

1 1/2 oz Fleets Phospho-soda down the barrel should do nicely. Sure cleans people out for colonoscopies. Big Grin

I think 1115 is right, there's a "cat" sneaking around here somewhere. troll What a pathetic and gross topic. I mean honestly, WTF? Is this the only thing you could think of? I think someone needs some psychological help.

Hey Jorge, you keep trying to find a way to pull me into your little lovefest with CATS.

I no longer engage in AR internet squabbles.
However since you have so much free time on your hands I could use my hedges trimmed.

i was going to make a post about alien probes... and then something about sh!tty guns... and then something about texas heart shots...

or even the surprise that it would smell bad....


but I'll just wonder why he didn't go ahead and pull the trigger?... guess teh rifle will get sh!tty groups now... with that sh!tty finish...

I bet a fresh bottle of cold blue will be about the only thing in the world that would cover up the smell.....


"so i was thinking, it would be a good idea to shove my rifle barrel up the anus of an elephant... must be a good sheath"...
