Was this previously in possession of a pimp?


Good hunting,

"Pimp My Rifle" It's a 30.06 not a 375, not that that makes it less horrible.

The Fajen Aristocrat stock looks fairly well done.

That is if you like Maple.....There's no white spacers but I'll bet the forend tip and grip cap are bakelite.

The scroll engraving is nicely done if grossly overdone!!!

Maybe it'll sell if Bill Clinton checks this out but other than that it's safe at the present bid of $2,200......

I'm not sure which part is more sexy, the gold plating or the stubby barrel! Personally I would have put it in a clear polymer stock with an eight ball in the butt.

I amsure if you auction that At Reno, someone will buy it. Lets face it the SCI Leopard Rifle didnt look much better.If you pair it up with a Diamond studed Gold Rolex they will find the combo irresistable!

thats kinda like when you are driving down the road, and you see the ugliest car you have ever seen. Like schoolbus yellow 26" rims on an 80's Pontiac, or 42" super swampers on a GREMLIN!!

Does that thing have a threaded end for a BRAKE? rediculous.

It makes me wonder if there isn't some history there. One of my buddies captured a sniper of Saddam's in Iraq and he had in his possesion a 24k Russian sniper rifle. Of course with this one it may just be that someone whats to look "pimpin" when they hang that thing sideways out of the deer blind to cap some deer's ass.

I have a friend that used to work night shift at a shop that did electro plating. Being pretty much on their own at night they plated all kinds of things. He showed me a bunch of coins he had gold plated. When I was in school we had a field trip to the Timken Bearing plant. I still remember the chrome plated vises they had in the shop.

I don't suppose that could have been someone's practical joke??!?? Can you imagine a band of buddies setting up a pool with a custom rifle for the winner....and doing this!

I'm willing to bet that someone outside this thread is still laughing about it!

I think it needs a coating of matt acrylic to 'dull' it down a little.

I was just browsing the prices of M70's and ran across this one... Speaking of which, what the hell is this world coming to! New M70's selling for about the same price as Pr-64's!!!

Is that a floor plate I see or a place to insert a CD for the rap music?

If the scope was gold plated I would buy it. But since it isn't, I'll let it pass. thumb
