Show us your ugliest, most worn or in need of TLC gun

[BigSlick]

Everyone always like to see a new or LNIB specimen, but what about some real shooters. Not lookin for any beauty queens here, just guns that have seen some use, sometimes a lot of use.

A pic would be great, a little background on it too if you know any.

I will get a Pic of a Gun that im Holding for my friend.

I will get it up on my days off (2 days away)

Its some old (dunno the name) 16gauge Shotgun with a Cracked Stock and Rusty Barrel. .......Super Clean Bore might I say.
This gun is SO used that you can see the Oils from people hands embedded into the Stock.
We have often Chatted about How much Food that gun has put on the Table.
Man if it could talk.......

This is an old Stevens 16ga shotgun that was my dads. He can remember his father getting him & his twin brother each one when they were kids so it is pretty old. I doubt it was every cleaned more than once or twice. It always stayed at my Grandfathers house so all the grandkids would have something to hunt/shoot with when we where there. I have killed many a rabbits & squirrels with it. Even a dove & quail or two here & there. When my Grandfather passed I got the one that was my fathers & my cousin got the one that was his Dads, my fathers twin brother. The only way to tell the two shotguns apart was by the lever. My dad bent his down a little cause it would eat your hand up.

I have started trying to restore it a little & would like to have the metal refinished one of these days.

Here is a pic of the stock after almost completely stripping it. The wood was real nice under the old finish.

I bought this old dog at a time when I should have known better. This thing rattles and wiggles in all the wrong places. Rode hard, shot loose, and dropped more than a few times. But, danged if it doesn't shoot where you point it and go bang every time. Got it cheap, thinking I would fix it up, but so far have decided to just shoot it. The S/N on the frame below the cylinder is to the best of my knowledge a Texas Department of Corrections inventory mark. This one's been around.

:animlol:

Heh. Wasn't me. Actually, when I did my research, I learned that a whole lotta these were sold off when the TDC screws upgraded to some kinda bottom feedin' brass slinger. No snuggling, smuggling or pilfering involved as far as I can tell.

How about my Colt Sistema?

It's been abused and had the snot shot out of it long before I bought it.
I enjoy shooting it as much as my Kimber, hammer bite be damned.
I'm leaving it just the way it is.
