    The Ugliest gun contest!!!

    Ok, This is just a fun thing to do, to burn up time this winter.

    Its the first (And maybe last) Annual Ugly gun contest.

    Here are the rules.

    Take a photo of your ugliest gun, and post it on this thread.

    One entry per member.

    Gun must be able to be fired.

    The dead line is March 1st.

    After the dead line, I will set up a poll, and all castboolit members can vote on it (Two week vote)

    Winner gets brag rights, unless someone cares to donate a prize.

    Alright, lets get this show on the road!!!

    Marlin 1894c 357 Mag.

    The gun was duricoated Camo, then we replaced the barrel with a stianless one, and replaced the butt stock, and all the duracoa is coming off.

    That ain't ugly just looks like a wallyville camo job. I have one maybe I can find someone to take a picture and get it on here (kindof weak in the camera, pictures, and puter stuff) the other problem it is so ugly that it might run off the rest of the competition.

    I wish I'd taken photos of a Winchester Golden Spike a diver I knew found in a sunken fishing boat he salvaged.
    It couldn't have been in the water more than ten years if that, but wood was totally eaten away, exposed steel eaten through in spots, and the iron frame had rusted under the gold plating so that it resembled a sausage that had been stomped on, crusty rust pushing through the split surface.
    I've seen relic Civil War muskets dug up after more than a century that looked better.

    The uglier the better and the vote will decide.
    Remember though it has to be shootable.
    As for the little Marlin you have to see it in person to fully appreciate the level of ugly.

    A rattle can will hide a whole lot of UGLY.

    I have a mossberg 12 gauge 500 that has about 16 differnt layers of partially worn krylon on it. It has been my goose&duck gun/beater gun/critter finishing club/canoe paddle/walking stick/dog scent post and a few other not so glamorous things in the 20+ years since I bought it brand new. It does not need racked back as that function has been automatic upon firing for years now. It has been through the trees at high velocity due to a boating accident caused by the "captain" severely underestimating the turning radius and "planing" ability of his 399 Rotax snowmobile engine powered homemade hyperdrive mud motor at full speed. It has been submerged to clean the mud/muck etc out of it on more than one occassion.

    Only thing it has ever needed from wear and tear is a new bolt when the crosspin area in the bolt cracked up to the top of the bolt. It has also had the buttstock replaced after I had to decide who was going to win a fight between a 200 pound chessy and a 15 ounce mink with a seriously bad attitude.

    I could drag this tool behind me on a rope and not even feel bad about it. It has likely put more "poundage" on the table than all my other toys combined and I can tear it down/clean it/reassemble it in the dark with one leg tied to a buddies gun shy labrador.

    Here is the old girl in all her glory:

    That is almost like cheating now, as that is real ugly....luckily sometime ugly is fixable.........unless your name is Hillary or Nancy anyway.

    Just do not put the barrel back on the way it's facing you might shoot yourself.

    That had to be a bit "interesting" when that happened...hope the operator was OK.

    I have this highly engraved Winchester to enter. Unfortunately I cannot post enough photos to show all the fine work. Most all of the exterior metal on this fine rifle has been engraved. And, yes, the bore is NOT engraved. It shoots fine.

    Regards, Woody
