did you drill holes into the case to empty the powder?
![]() I'm quite envious of your tree. That would never fly in my family. |

That's awesome, very creative! I hope you don't have any young kids around to start throwing ammo around the room.

Ignore the haters. There just jealous cause their wives would never let that fly.
I love the star. To the rest of you: If ammo doesn't cook off sitting in a humvee in Iraq in 130 degree weather, do you really think It's gonna go off from the heat of a fricking mini light? |

Quoted: needs an ammo belt spiraling up the tree. I thought about putting a 100rd belt of .50 around the bottom and linking the beginning to the end so it would never end, but they ran out of the belted stuff at my local shop and it would have cost $300 |

very nice tree. If i did that only thing i would hear from my SO would be. " I know you didn't use my ammo for that, right?" |
|
I remember a topic last year in which someone posted a link to a store which sells glass .223 ornaments. Anyone have that link?

Now, strip ALL the needles and everything else off, leaving just ONE round hanging. Then you'll have (sing it with me here)... "...A cartridge in a bare tree." |
|
After much thought and consideration, (which I rarely give to a post), I have come to a conclusion.
The concept, is outstanding. The execution, however.....sucks. Next year, just spend $20 on some ornaments. ![]() |

Impressively creative, yet strangely depressing. Why don't you have any ornaments?
