Thread: Bubba what have you done?

Dont any of you guys bid on it i want it

The nut on the end of the rather short barrel adds a touch of class.

Ths mounting if the red dot is pretty special

Dont go hunting without your Duct tape to attach stock ??

Not intended or designed is not mentioned in the law, if it can be fired in it's taken down state and is shorter than 762mm it's a "pistol"
I went through this with my Bergara single shot that was non takedown version, even though you would be mentally retarded to try and shoot it with the but stock removed it was possible and being shorter than 762mm it could see you foul of the law if you were pulled up by the wrong plod with an axe to grind.....

That sums up quite a few firearms - many semi auto 22s, shotguns are like that.

But the crims seem to prefer a ‘mean-as’ pistol grip at the blunt end, regardless of barrel length.

Well hopefully I'm wrong but that is what I was told, I certainly don't want to test the water, even if it is ok. Not worth the heartache, anyway lets get back to ugly bubbafied guns

Dont know...but 1) it would take a special kind of stupid to fire that without the stock fitted, and a similar but also special kind of dumbass to fire that with the stock dust taped on...I can see the recoil pivoting back and 'hingeing' on the tape...Blinded or a scope kiss like you have never seen.....

Too many bubba lawyers, too.

It was on a thread here possibly from when I sold it, I really don't care enough to go trawling around looking for it. There's always someone on here who knows better.

so pretty much ANY shotgun with barrel and action shorter than 7.62mm would run fowl of the law...the "batman special" ranger from gunshitty definately would....you can fire shotgun without butstock..... once .... without forestock isnt an issue but without butt would be painfull.

Yeah I know its facebook but this is a cracker. I could probably do it properly at home on the puter but doing it on the phone

Scope bite? Will have to lift your head to reload....I wonder what return to zero looks like?

I feel like this deserves a place in here. May be done well, but just doesn’t look right.
