Not that I approve of bubba's misdeed in this case, but mirror polishing carbon steel is still better rust protection than bluing it. Just did not go far enough.

Yup and he wants 2 fiddy for it.
at least the barrel is the original matching numbers one.

It amused me that he didn’t know the difference between stainless and sanded steel. In fact he has no clues about the gun at all. Take his FAL of him I say.

This is a rifle for killin' shit in a redneck way. (For those days when they too hungover to throw a rock straight.) Any self respecting bubba be perfectly happy with it .

A special Mk III, a collectible main screw removable in the field by use of vulcanite prostethic teeth. Note the trigger screw is an early Phillips type -- I conclude it may be from a dispersed manufacturer in the Netherlands.

Vulcanite is a really hard rubber, and NZ Army supplied vulcanite dentures for kiwi troops (most were toothless as NZ soil is fluoride deficient). The troops were unable to chew bread supplied to them at Gallipoli with their dentures.

I am looking for a pair of vulcanite dentures to go with my SMLE. Anyone got a pair for sale? I have medium size gums and if you need them I'm happy to wait until you die.

Click on image for link to British Dental Association article on vulcanite dentures. Interesting stuff. Honestly! Even includes a dentist shooting someone dead over false teeth.

I had to post this as it had been talked about and deserves to be in the bubba files.

Might as well immortalise it as that link will die when the auction expires, now to go gouge out my eyes with a fork

Well it's not hideous, it's got some way to get up to the hideous level. Think I'd have been happy for it's image to die with the auction.

@gadgetman I think that you need to take that back. The fact that his inspiration for a colour came out of a nappy of a toddler that was fed curry shows he has a complete lack of empathy for others. He did not care about his toddlers dietary tract and he cares less about our eyes and the fact we cannot unsee such hideousness. It is though he bandaged it in a nappy and was surprised by the staining.

Just imagine the outpouring of anger if he had done this to a Ruger, or a Anshultz, or a Marlin. Brandisim has no place when this sort of treatment is happening....
