Ugly Python on Gunbroker....

[Skans]

Any of you looking for an ugly shooter grade Python, there's one on Gunbroker for a hair under $1,200. No bidders so far. This one is going to need more than a factory fluff&buff to make it pretty. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=479663010

I think it would take about $600 or so to restore this one - maybe more because of the location of the pitting.

must have been a duty gun. Bobbed hammer. It has some charm 'i worked for a living not a trophy' look.

It would be a nice find for 7 bills. Could shoot the snot outta it cuz its never gonna be pretty again. Those Hogues have to go. Gross.

Before I look, is this the Realtree(R) camo painted one?

(looked)

<sigh>

Looks beat.

Give me an old T-shirt, a tube of Flitz, and a can of car wax, and I'll make it look like a different gun.

Is that character, or abuse.

I would actually be interested in buying and really enjoying shooting many many rounds through that if the seller didn't want an outrageous price for a well used firearm.

I thought mine were ugly (both bought used).

That Colt has been rode hard and put away wet.

Id buff it out as best i could then hardchrome that pony

Not for that price though

Rust on the sideplate looks like blood damage.

Somebody paid 1375 for....that... Wow...

Rust on the sideplate looks like blood damage.

That was exactly my thought...

Yes, me too......but not for 1,375. But, if a good gunsmith purchased that gun for that price, he'll make that gun perty again and get $2,300 for it. You'd have to be really good with metal - going to have to add some metal where those pits are, machine it, sand it, polish it and recarve that pony in it...for starters.

Or, someone got a fun python to shoot and just didn't want to look forever to save a few hundred bucks.
