doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Ever buy a gun because it is ugly or messed up?

I am an admitted bottom feeder (I think I collect Bayard doubles by default at this point).
I am capable of buying that Superposed with the Cutts on the end just to freak out the guys at the club, an expensive joke but probably worth it, cheaper than a Manufrace Ideal and at least as weird. BTW, I like Ideals, have a Darne.

I am dumb with this malady, yesterday i traded a Stevens 315, 16 g. in real good shape, lots of color and blueing for a Parker lifter hammer 10 ga. with no finnish and a cracked stock that was repaired with friction tape! twist barrels. Oh well I am having a ball.

i love high quality smallbore side by side project guns! got any for sale? Bobby

Bought Manufrance Ideal 12 ga. w/ broken lever return spring internet auction site. Shrewd contributor here caught this in the ad copy; wasn't exactly revealed but hinted at with great innocence in the description as lever needing to be manually returned after closing. Bought it anyway. New spring fitted and in; tiny bit of overall checkering chased and stock refinished; wish the chokes were a bit more useful as is. Broken may be a different animal than "messed up" and ugly is always in the eye of the beholder based on exactly which worlds he's been privileged to be a man of.
