Gun Ugly but shoots great -- What to do??

[Toms]

What do you do with a gun that is really ugly and needs a paint job really bad, but its glued in and shoots so good there is no way I am going to unglue and take chance on having it not shoot. Then there is the mailing issue.

Beating people with an ugly gun really is fun and satisfying. Keep old ugly shooting. C a n always paint when the barrel needs changed, or not.

I also beat out some Perazzis with an 1897 Winchester. The match included doubles.

I'm always enjoying myself when I shoot and many of the extreme competitors are excessive in my opinion. Many years ago while shooting practice rounds this extreme competitor was making himself a pain in the butt for everyone. Now I never would have done this in a competition but this was our fun time.

We always had this woman who shot with us who was just, a guys gal, just an awesome person, she was a horse trainer and showed up after her evening stable work for the relaxation of some night shooting, she had a beautiful face and a rack on her to die for.

Because of this guy she and no one else was having any fun so I whispered in her ear and I arranged to put her in post 1 and him in post 2, in the next round, she was shooting a Remington 1100.

In the summer she always wore a light white riding top and for this round she had taken off her bra and unbuttoned it to the essentials, every time she fired she bent down real suggestively toward him to pick up her spent case. By the time we shot the third post he had dropped 5 birds, he threw his Perazzi to the ground and walked off the field, he gathered his gear picked up his shotgun and left. When he left it took a micro second for us to miss him.

I always suggest that you enjoy life, it's worked for me.

Ugly guns need Lovin too. Put a little lipstick on that pig and shoot!

I've always looked at beat up, well worn, and well used guns that are well maintained in the same light as the car at the drag strip that has primer for paint and is running drag slicks. IE, looks don't matter to the owner, only results.

Being purple, put a Rat Fink sticker or Purple People Eater sticker on it and embrace the ugly.

You ain't in a beauty contest, leave it and shoot it

In the Hot Rod world we would say…….”if it won’t run, chrome it”

This ain’t figure skating. They don’t give style points.

I had a stock so ugly one time fellow shooters said it looked like it had mange.

Have a motorcycle, wear a silly outfit,

That one is only silly until you look back after the sliding stops.

Ii have an Ugly gun but I don't call it Ugly to her face. Shoots way too good and don't want her to get contrary in the middle of a match.





Yup, that is a Power Aide bottle.



10 shots. 195 yards. Top shot sighter, other 9 after adjustment.

EBBs Ugly Rifle

 

[South Paw Sammy]

EBBs Bonus Rifle What is it?

 

[59FLH]

Franken-sten?

 

[ebb]

OH my gosh the first guess. This is what you have to do to make a sten MK5 ATF legal. Well not the verticle magazine but the 16 inch barrel. Check out the spots on the Hall where the previous owner tried to touch it up. i guess he only had blue paint.
