Another pawn shop rifle for your enjoyment

[timspawn]

I took this one in on Friday.

[Alvarez Kelly]

That's a beauty!

[USAFrox]

You sure there's really a rifle in there? ;-)

[nekshot]

Now thats a hillbilly swat rifle....or is that the original "brush rifle"? Whats in those weeds?

[bruce drake]

is that alternate front sight tack-welded on to the sight cover?

[marvelshooter]

None of you guys ever saw a rifle with a ghillie suit before?

[runfiverun]

I'm going with it being a modified supremely viable moisin.
somebody watched enemy at the gates too much as a kid.

[Pb2au]

Well, I would give the previous owner some points for creativity at least.
Maybe burlap was the original tacti-cool add on.

[John Allen]

I think this is hilarious. I can see it now, take a shot with the extended top sight, cycle action and jam a bunch of burlap in the action.

[MrWolf]

Said the same thing when I saw the picture :veryconfu

[nagantguy]

It the rifle of the hunter poacher sniper assassin. Or maybe just some old crumudgen with to much time and gunny sacks.

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

Did "cousin It" pawn that rifle ? lol

[Bonz]

Just hope it doesn't burst into flames when you shoot it

[roots911]

Fire it with mil surp and you will be coughing for a month from the dust and **** that will be "liberated" from the burlap. Would probably do away with the advantage of smokeless powder over BP for shooter location ID too!!

[Garyshome]

I need a bush or 2 that grows those!

[Hardcast416taylor]

Let me guess, they`re filming a remake of "Enemy at the Gates" somewhere near you?Robert

[Lance Boyle]

Tactical mop?

[Bzcraig]

I'll give you twice what you paid and sell on gunbroker as a one of a kind sniper rifle.

[Hamish]

Tactical mop?


Ding! Ding! Ding!Ding! We have a Winner!

Between this one and the Swiss cheese receiver pump rifle, it begins to look like some special genus of bubba has evolved diwn there,,,,,,,,,

[Finster101]

Tim, did the Skunk Ape walk in and pawn that thing? Hope you have him on camera. They been looking for him for years!

[Finster101]

"Between this one and the Swiss cheese receiver pump rifle, it begins to look like some special genus of bubba has evolved diwn there,,,,,,,,,"



You have no idea......and I ain't even in the same business as Tim.

[timspawn]

The guy only pawned it so I'm not the owner of this fine piece yet (hopefully I won't be). I wasn't sure what to say when he walked in with it. I figured whatever I said might offend him.

[TXGunNut]

Sometimes it's so hard not to say what's on your mind. Some silly fool is pretty proud of that rifle.

[TXGunNut]

It's the 75th anniversary of Wizard of Oz, did a guy in a scarecrow costume pawn it?

[leeggen]

can't shoot good cause you can not see the front sight by looking thru the back sight. Way to much burlap,but would blend in up here inTn. in the winter.
CD
Oh by the way what caliber and what make is itor can't you tell yet. Looks like somebody forgot to water that chee chee pet.

[petroid]

It's Tacti-*****

[Garyshome]

Is that thing pelosi's broom?

[MaryB]

Hiding under all that is a Mosin factory sniper that he doesn't want stolen...

[DeputyDog25]

Instead of a Chia pet it looks like a Chia rifle, just add ammo and watch it grow!

[xacex]

Careful, it may have flee's....

[facetious]

If you ever got lost in the woods you would have some thing to get a fire started with.

just don't forget to take the gun out first.

[Mustangpalmer1911]

THe uber rare Wookie Mosin

[rondog]

What on Earth did Bubba do to those sights? I swear, some people's kids.....

[bobthenailer]

I think the wood that they used for the stock is root wood !

[shredder]

Man the peanut gallery is in fine shape! Some really funny stuff here guys. It does look like there is a Nagant in there.

[bob208]

some one has watched enemy at the gates one too many times.

[Freightman]

Don't lay it down out here on the Texas plains you will never find it again. Know a smart hunter lay a cammo rifle down to go see if he killed the deer , never found the deer or rifle.

[fastfire]

What's the burlap hiding?

[WILCO]

It does look like there is a Nagant in there.

Yep. Looks to be a 91/30.

[timspawn]

What's the burlap hiding?

If he doesn't pick it up I will have an Extreme Makeover Home Edition type reveal. Instead of "move that bus" everybody can say "remove that burlap".

[WILCO]

If he doesn't pick it up I will have an Extreme Makeover Home Edition type reveal.

What's the time frame?

[timspawn]

What's the time frame?

10-23-14

[WILCO]

10-23-14

Roger that. I'll be looking for updates. Would like to see under the burlap.

[leeggen]

Hey Timspawn did bubba pick up that gunnysack rifle yet??? Haven't seen anything about it.
CD

[timspawn]

No. It's still got time.

[6bg6ga]

What will you have to have for that fine piece?

[C. Latch]

If that rifle's decorations are indicative of the sort of work product he puts out at his day job, it's no wonder he needed to pawn it.

[timspawn]

What will you have to have for that fine piece?

I won't know until I unwrap it. I have no idea what it looks like under the burlap.

[DeputyDog25]

That looks like one of those "Chia Plant Rifles" that you water everyday! :redneck:

[leeggen]

Ok Timspawn does the babba rifle get unrapped or does the babba get it back??????
Today is the 10-23-14.
CD

[timspawn]

It's going to get unwrapped, but I'm going hunting and won't do it until Tuesday.

[Artful]

Inquiring minds want to know :bigsmyl2:

[BrassMagnet]

It's going to get unwrapped, but I'm going hunting and won't do it until Tuesday.

Why are you so cruel?
I just have to know!

[TXGunNut]

It's going to get unwrapped, but I'm going hunting and won't do it until Tuesday.


Wow, major tease! Have a fantastic and safe hunting trip.

[Multigunner]

Between the kudzu,virginia creeper, and ivy if you leaned a rifle against my back fence for a couple of hours this summer it would have looked just like that. Must be that Global Warming I keep hearing of.
I must have filled six dump trucks with the stuff this year.
When the ground hugging vines and roots get caught on the front drive axle of my mower it winds up tight as the stuff on that rifle. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

[leeggen]

I think he is waiting for the bidding to start before he unwraps it for us. Good hunting to ya.
CD

[xs11jack]

He has to know what is under the burlap wrappings, he did evaluate it for the pawn price.
Still the unrapping show will be fun to watch.

[obssd1958]

Still waiting................:popcorn:

[Bzcraig]

Open...open...open

[timspawn]

Well here is what was under the burlap. All I did when the guy brought it is was make sure it wasen't loaded by removing the bolt and looking down the bore. I also cut some of the burlap so I could see the serial number. As I started cutting the burlap off of the barrel today, you can imagine what was going through my mind when I found there was an aluminum tube over the barrel. Thank goodness both ends of the tube are open and there are no holes in the barrel.

[willie_pete]

Wth?

Wp

[USAFrox]

Wow... that's .... one of a kind!

[Geppetto]

Well that makes sense....don't want to burlap to burst into flames during sustained fire. Good aluminum shroud will keep burlap smoke from giving away your position.

[Pb2au]

Free float front end. The most tactical of all battle rifle mods.
All we need now is a fishing vest covered in Mosin clip-a-zines and we should be good to go.
Also I am thinking some righteous you tube videos showing tactical rapid fire with one arm WAAAAAAY out on the free float forearm would be nice.

[JSnover]

Hey, isn't that the ultra rare Vickers conversion? Ask the owner if he has the rest of the plumbing.

[TXGunNut]

Got any string? I think I know why the previous owner wrapped it in burlap. Sometimes camo has more than one purpose.

[starmac]

Well, at least I see now why he pawned it, after all that trouble rigging up that can, it didn't quieten it down a bit.

[MaryB]

That takes fugly to a new dimension...

[Artful]

Let's see how it shoots

[Blacksmith]

All it needs is a high price and a good story. If the story is good enough some fool will buy it.

It must be the air cooled aircrew version for keeping enemy fighters away.

[Southern Son]

Needs a combination verticle front grip with torch and pop-out bipod, then it would be perfect.


Where the hell is the purple writing button??????

[leeggen]

Yip- it is a real one of a kind babba special!!! Holy cow pies, hope the cover has not hurt the barrel. Bet that is supposed to keep the worp out of the barrel when hot or real cold. I know -it has fittings on the back side so you can heat hot water for coffee while in camp.

CD

[MaryB]

How much extra weight did that mess add? Mosins are not a lightweight gun to begin with. I could not have held that thing and fired, would need a rest of some sort.

[Hamish]

Is that sucker WELDED on to the barrel?

[timspawn]

I'm not sure what to do with it. I may part it out.

[MaryB]

matching numbers gun? If it is cut that tube off and see how bad it looks under it. Otherwise it could be a good transplant into an archangel stock, my Chinese Type 53 in one

[timspawn]

I'm not going to spend any money on it. I'm into it cheap and can sell it cheap. I'll let somebody else make a project of it.

[MaryB]

I would be interested in cheap but shipping and transfer fees would kill the price.

[starmac]

It appears that somebody has already used it for a project, and now it is YOURS. lol

[9w1911]

Well that makes sense....don't want to burlap to burst into flames during sustained fire. Good aluminum shroud will keep burlap smoke from giving away your position.

I laughed aloud!

[nemesisenforcer]

You can make some drapes out of the wrapping.
