Gun disposal

I have old revolver that my dad purchased in the 80s that is damaged beyond repair. What is the correct way to dispose of it?

Well you could take a sledge or pick axe to it, weld it, saw it up, etc....

Wait until one of those police "gun buyback programs", and get some cash for it.
Otherwise, take a grinder to the frame, and end up with something that looks like this:

How did it get damaged beyond repair?

Was dropped and the cylinder is slightly out of line with the barrel. I know hard to believe... but it’s a Rossi.

Shot a guy and just have a "need" to dispose of the weapon?

You don't. It's your dad's pistol. If it's inoperable already, mount it in a display case or something like that and keep it in your office.
Once you destroy your dad's pistol, it's gone forever.

I would get a gunsmith to officially render it in "non-firing" condition for display, certify that and then display it. That way, nervous Nellies can't say anything.

Are you sure it can't be fixed? Isn't that a fairly common problem with revolvers?

Chop it up. Use the parts as decoy weights.

If its just out of time, it can, but if its bent?? Its a Rossi, not worth fixing

Not worth fixing but, as others have pointed out, you should keep it in "the family." Grandkids will marvel one day.

Mount it on the wall and use it as a toilet paper holder. Just slip a roll on the barrel!

Thanks for all the the responses. It’s one of Dozens of guns that will get passed down so I think I’m just gonna chop it up and keep the cylinder. My worry was someone tries to fire it and gets injured.

Some dude building a rat rod could us it for a shifter...

I get the sentiment and agree most of the time, but just because my dad took a shite doesn't mean I'm gonna frame it and hang it on my office wall to pass down to my kids one day.
There is nothing display-worthy about a Rossi.This post was edited on 10/9/20 at 4:32 pm

Could he have possibly pistol whipped a hooker with it? make a story up!

In my defense, he didn't mention it was one of dozens of guns that were being passed down!
