    Bubba Pimp Unquality #5

    8-9 yrs ago I bought this off of ebay--paid $100 for it from memory-just rec and bolt--I spent hours with a dremel polishing bunch of junk parts, barrel, sanded stock-sent them off and had nickled-then added a few repro's parts and presto-a unmatched Unquality from BUBBA PIMP GUN COMPANY-was always embarressAttachment 25240Attachment 25241Attachment 25242Attachment 25243Attachment 25244Attachment 25245Attachment 25246Attachment 25247Attachment 25248ed to show it but decided what the hell--bad part would be if I croaked and kids sold it to some unsuspecting soul. Aside from all that it is marked No 5 so maybe this was part of a series. Irregardless its a sight to behold. No snide remarks from the holy rollers please. If anyone has any information of Unquality No 5 or other unserialed Unquality guns please email me. I left bolt and receiver exactly as I found. Rest of stuff is just nickled parts--neat hammer though, it may be only real part other then trigger sear and mag catch that are not unmucked with. This post needs straightened out pic wise-its beyond my ability

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    There may have been a proper serial number there at one time. There IS a mark below the name. I've seen things polished to remove and then the chrome for various reasons. Instead of nickleing and then being embarrassed to show it, I'm curious why you didn't have the chrome chemically stripped from the two original parts and return it to black? It would serve well as a shooter.
    Regards, Jim

    I don't think receiver was hardened. No punchmark and twisty when I attached barrel. Internally the lip rail bolt rides in was broken away where someone previously attempted to make a gun out of it. It's just a looker and conversation piece. I would like to know history of the No 5 marking. I have never seen anything like that on any QHMC receiver. The guy I got from paid $5 for it at a garage sale. Oddly was from about 10 miles from where US&S were made. It was a estate garage sale so no further where it came from could be found. See what you missed seeing in person Jim!!
