WTF? Confused

What were they trying to make it look like?

Anything that ugly needs to be buried. Bury it with a shovel, then bury the shovel.

Ah, comeon guys, I don't think there's anything wrong with that rifle that that a new stock wouldn't fix. And the current stock probably would work out as firewood in the fireplace. jump

Well, come to think about it, I'm not real sure about that Big Grin

I put a striped walnut stock on my old Mauser 22. But mine actually looks like a stock !!! Big Grin Why wasn't the pictured gun ever fired ? Was he afraid of getting ridiculed at the range ?

Ya see, that's why tolerance of alternate lifestyles is a bad thing. First it's ok for 'em to sneak out of the closet, then they get to hold hands in gunsmith class. Next thing ya know they move to San Francisco and get hitched and then collaborate on a stock.

Truly preverted, that's all I can say. eek2

At least he had the good grace to call it "far out" and not in the positive.

As for the first one, I think its unfired for fear of being injured by one of those sharp edges or angles!

Looks like something the folks that buy "fantasy" knives would go for in a rifle stock Roll Eyes

As for why it wasn't fired, it could be one of those cases of, the gunsmith didn't exactly produce what you had in mind???

Ok you baby boomers, but I recall an era when such stuff was very popular in the good old USA,

Not my style, wouldn't have it, but to each his own and the workmanship looks pretty good..

Weatherby started that trend and it didn't last long, but it was here long enough to make Jack O'conner fret, and had Elmer Keith plumb excited... clap

Ray,

I'm a young pup so you have to forgive me. Was that style popular before or after the common use of mind altering drugs? beer

I remember many years ago when I was in my youth, and quite dumb and skinny, I bought a large ring 98 in 8x57 in a pawn shop in Ft Smith Arkansas, it had a Lawson thumb hole stock with the finest I wood I seen in my life to date. Very well done, think I paid 150 bucks for it. Its shot ragged holes. I couldn't help it I had to scrap the 8 mauser barrel and bought my first custom barrel, a douglas in 270 win. Had a gunsmith in Corpus Christi Texas rebarrel it, he is no longer alive.........it wouldn't shoot for beans and I sold it to a pipefitter at the refinery I didnt like for 200 bucks. I took a beating, but it was one of many leasons in life.

At one time those thumb hole stocks were the rage.......or at least for us dumb country boys that didnt get to town very often.

This little beauty was on an otherwise pristine pre 64 winchester model 70. The local gun store that took it in swapped it out for a factory stock. He loaned it me to enter in an ugly stock contest.

Good shooting,
Weagle

Somehow, when I see those stocks I get this urge to grow out my sideburns and get a pair of tinteds Elvis glasses.

Maybe even go shooting in a leisure suit....
