It is hard for me to accept that is real?

[fordwannabe]

Hey Rube, good to see you posting, but then ya had to put that picture up. YUCK.

[Rube Burrows]

Hey Rube, good to see you posting, but then ya had to put that picture up. YUCK.

Yeah. Seen that and was in shock that someone could make something look so ugly.

Hope you have been good.

[TedH]

Somebody needs slapped.

But then again, if his reserve isn't too out of line, which it probably is given the BIN price, it could be a good project for a real levergunner.

Someone has been watching too much Zombie TV and been playing video games which are better left in the package. The person responsible for that atrocity should say 150 John Moses Brownings and wash his hands with Hoppes 9 in penance. Either that, or get kicked in the seat of the pants by the entire Radio City Music Hall Rockettes line one by one.

[Blaine]

Ugly guns need love, too....I'd BIN for 250 There is a ton of good .22 under that obscene paint.

[Alan Wood]

I see that I am not the only one thinking that that abomination would be a rather nice bargain project gun! Though not at $250.

[Pete44ru]

.

Not IMHO even @ $150 - and I've rescued waaaaay more than my share.

Even refurbed, that puppy would be hard-pressed to bring $250.

[smokenrust]

YUCKIs an understatement!!! The Savage 1899 I posted the other day looks ten times better than this thing!... No gotta add another zero, .. a hundred times better,, because its mine.. LOL, no not that marlin.

[FWiedner]

refinished and updated to a great looking, great shooting rifle

LOL.

Yeah, sweet job.

[AJMD429]

Everyone has a different idea of what "great looking" means...

Just glad it has (evidently) had a home with someone who 'cares' for it, even though it makes most of us shiver. Hopefully the new buyer will give it some TLC, too.

[Chris83716]

I like the "refinished and updated". I would pay $150 or $200 to see what is under that mess, but not more. It will defiantly be a PROJECT to make that one nice again.

It's got six bids!

I wouldn't pay a hunnert bucks for it! Who knows what's under that fugly paint. The wood certainly looks beat to death - the metal could be pitted and rusted to junk. And the seller's BS description makes me doubt that his bore description is accurate either.

UFB...

I am still stunned it's on GB

[KiwiKev]

I love the acrylic bluing. As sad as someone painting their car with a paint brush or that lady in Spain who touched up the portrait of Jesus.

[jdad]

The moron has it listed, on both GB and GA. I guess if we really wanted to screw with him we could do the BIN simultaneously, on both auctions. If Gunauction.com finds out about the double listing they will pull his listing, but it's so fugly it would take a collector of "modern art" to want it.

[nemhed]

This makes me want to go home and hug my 39a!

[sore shoulder]

I've never seen a gun that was more misrepresented. Well cared for? Did you see the condition of the butt plate? The checkering under whatever is painted over it looks heavily damaged. And what are the red splotches supposed to be? This has to be a joke listing. And if the outside is any indication I seriously doubt the stated condition of the bore.

[Sixgun]

Junk is junk and always will be junk.

I guess we could think of it another way. Pretend your in the middle of nowhere with nothing to eat and you got Indians scoping you out. I bet that 39 would look very nice -------Sixgun

[Old Savage]

Relax, non traditional

[Blaine]

Relax, non traditional

All of John's children should be loved and cared for

[Griff]

Well... I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

updated to a great looking

isn't there some law about "truth in advertising?" If ever there was a more apt change of "beholder" to "beer-holder", this is it!

[jeepnik]

I have no idea what the seller is on, but we need to keep it away from the children.

[DadsMod12]

I'm a huge Ohio State fan so I love scarlet and gray; but that is just butt ugly.
