If you be involved with firearms for any length of time you've come across heart breaking ruinations of a fineweapons.  In my case it was a pre-war PPK.   Saw it at a gun shop  run by a friend. He said take a look at this.  I looked at it real quick and was impressed until he told me to look at the muzzle.  There were three holes drilled through the front of the slide that surrounds the barrel.  Apparently some..."person", not knowing that the PPK didn't have a removable bushing had drilled the holes to use some makeshift spanner wrench to remove the non existing bushing so they could get the slide off.  To add insult to stupidity  the cretin had put the gun in a vise and bent the frame.  Since then I've seen   "Nickeled" Lugers,  "Sawed Off" L.C. Smith shotguns, etc, etc.  Any other horror stories out there? Better yet, any culprits willing to own up to their own transgressions?

My first thought upon seeing the title.



That said, I don't generally get too worked up over what someone else chooses to do with his own firearms. YMMV.

Seen a .30-40 Krag with the bumper chrome on it...it was chopped up as well. Someone put a lyman peep sight on there as well as a new front sight base that was bronze brazed onto the shortened barrel...I could hardly tell what it was aside from the distinctive receiver area of the rifle which was covered in that hideous bumper chrome.

Hmmm...

Oops.

Yes, it's an otherwise original, very lightly used '44 Colt.

i have a williams catalouge from 1957 that  has pages and pages of  sporter conversions they offered for military rifles.
the shit in that catalouge will make a grown man cry,

picture an m1 garand in a montecarlo stock with front and rear sights removed and then replaced with b-square type scope mount bolted on the side with a traditional ramped brass bead front sight soldered on the front.  

but the worst (not a willams conversion but worthy of them) by far was a johnson m-1941 that was modified to take remington 741  magazines

I once saw a bubbafied deer rifle version of an Arisaka ,with an intact chrysanthimum on the receiver, at a gun show.  If it had not been bubbafied, it would have been worth a small fortune.

There's not much to say. Somebody did a homemade stippling job to improve the grip texture on a Glock with a soldering iron or a woodburner.

If he was simply going for grip, whoever did that did a good job. If he was going for esthetics too, FAIL!

I've seen people who've done AR stocks and Glocks with a burner or iron where they had a good hand and a good eye, and it looks like it was molded that way at the Glock factory, or compares to the best work done by Glock smiths who offer this kind of work. Not so much this...

My neighbor took a BEAAAAAUUUUUTIFUL brand new SA M1A Super Match, and took it out of the stock, put it in an entry style stock, put an aimpoint and surefire on it, and I'm not sure, but I think he also cut the barrel later on.



Fucking broke my heart.

I saw a Browning Superposed that some moron had cut down to make a "coach gun".  
He needed his nuts cut off.

There was a member here that did a far worse job on a Glock than that a few years back.  I doubt his pics are still available though.

I got it back (from IL...I'm in PA Now).   Had a local shop park it to kill any remaining rust.   An Uncle (who helps a gunsmith) has it for a while to see if anything else can be done for it.    All the rust is external (almost nothing under the grips, in the frame, etc.    Looks like the guy that got it put it in a trunk instead of carrying it...
