There does seem to be a rash of fitting pipe to a firearm, to use for replacing the original barrel. I'm sorry, I'm as cheap as they come but I'd never think of using pipe. Is it even safe, must be, just saw another ad, this lucky shooter was able to fire 70 rounds down his rifles pipe. Another shooter got 22 rounds down his guns pipe and there was a 1911 that was able to shoot 25 rounds down its pipe.

If for some obscure reason I have been too literal, and have assumed "pipe" means "pipe", when in fact it is meant to describe a gun barrel, that for lack of proper maintenance and storage has become to resemble a pipe, or is meant to describe a barrel with worn out rifling, or a barrel that isn't any more accurate than a pipe, I apologize.

I have a muzzle loader, the last owner didn't clean it, and the inside of the barrel looked like the inside of a rusty sewer pipe. I was able to clean it up enough to shoot. If I call it a pipe, can I pass it off as a good rifle.

Or perhaps its a way of covering your butt, sell a gun and the new owner complains it has a rough bore, or doesn't shoot accurate, and you just laugh and say, "What do you expect, I said it was a pipe".

Yes, pipe is just a generic term for the barrel.

Not literal, unless you're talking about improvised illegal or fake guns made from actual hardware store pipe.

So, most likely means barrel, but it could just be a piece of hardware store pipe.

I suppose it's like referring to your wife and daughters as "the ho's". In all likelihood your wife and daughters aren't ho's, but you just like to talk that way, for the street cred. If I call the barrel on my gun a pipe, it will make me sound like a real gunny.


I put a few hundred pills down my pipe today. Had to stop when the clip wouldn’t feed the shells right anymore. The new furniture I put on last week sure made it easier to line up the irons.
 
try something old school then I might be a bit impressed like flat bar wound around a steel bar and then hammer welded.. pipe guns are so easy a 5 year old girl can make one...

You wouldn't happen to be downwind of a major grow op that is on fire would you?
 
"I did all sorts. Teaching commandos how to use escapology equipment, compasses in brass buttons, secret maps in white cotton handkerchiefs, pipes you could smoke that also fired a .22 bullet. All sorts of incredible things." - Jon Pertwee, the 3rd Dr. Who, crew member HMS Hood.
