The ugliest piece of Bubbary ever?

[smellie]

And THIS from the people who designed that monumentally-simple and practical Werndl?

I can't even figure out what some of those parts DO.

If anything.

Howard the Duck said it in one word: "Waaaugh!"

Nice part is that it's under 500 bucks. Maybe we should each get one while they're still available. (I need the rear sight for my 1915 Mauser!)

What the heck is it?

And, by the way, I've not seen this auction site before. How hard is it to buy stuff from Germany?

It's gone - it was sold at the asking price

[Stevo]

Very Steampunk.

Xerox Corp. used to sell a high speed copier with an automatic stapler which measured the thickness of the set, fed the appropriate length of wire from a spool, cut and formed the wire into a staple then clinched it all in a single stroke. This gun appears to have used some of the parts from the staple head.

Oh, my. Mmmmmm... uuuuh... Oh, My.

I was certified on those monsters years ago Tarheel and you're correct that it was just about that complicated!

I still think this example was more stupid in that there was no good way of grasping the rifle around the trigger area w/o danger of injury under recoil. ( I reckon that the fore end and front sight went missing or were robbed for the next project, so those missing parts don't count.)

However, I have started to round up some Bubba bits, and am in negotiations to photograph a real hideous bit of work on an SVT-40. To start, here's a rendered down Enfield- some of the worst parts are long gone!:







I think this butt stock was part of the above, but the spray paint has been removed. The fine texturing and smoothing of the grip contours are original Bubba:




I'm really not sure WHY one would want to reconfigure their L-E sights to this combo:





Here's a mild Bubba'ing of an SVT-40 (not the one mentioned above):


The Mosin Nagant 91/30 type AK mount was ineffectually secured by the two screws, but that's OK, Bubba filled void between the mount and the radius at the bottom of the receiver with weld from a stick welder- slag and all! Got the worst of it off, but the stock is a bit of a mess- on both sides.

My own everyday shooter Bubba-ness:






This last bit is really just a test piece, but it COULD be slapped back on any old M14:


I also remember a G43 that had:
Barrel cut short, so no front sight
Length of pull shortened and a rubber pad hapazardly screwed on.
Slimmed down grip
Split handguard wood glued back together.
Stock spray painted flat black- sort of
Rear sight base sawed off. I think a Weaver type base screwed on, but it was not square to anything.
Mag may have been OK.

Later on I think I saw it again, but with a less bad stock. The give-away was the K98k rear sight base welded to the receiver top- but MUCh higher than original. The new owner wanted his "rare" carbine's front sight raised to get it on paper. Too bad no photos of that one!

More coming, if you can stand it! I DO live in the land of Bubba after all!

Not Milsurp, but it's odd and ugly:


For an Anschutz Exemplar .22rf pistol. Intended to lower the pistol into a more stable grip whilst shooting standing in IHMSA. Worked, but too fragile.
