Current thread - byf41

This gun would grade to excellent if the stock had not been cleaned and the disks over-scrubbed.
Now I would put it at VG. That stock would have had the original linseed oil finish, likely dry and with some gloss.

Museum quality...major not!

I think them and the butt plate got the treatment. Steel wool? Wire brush? Not the way they looked until recently I'd venture. People just can't leave things alone but someone(s) will see the bling no doubt.

I posted the awkshun link so we can watch serious bullshite happening. I’m trying to figure out why the stock was wanked like that. It was an 80s - early 90s thing, along with big hair on dudes and Nagel prints. Apparently Nagels are making a comeback. I hope the same is not true of stock wanking. Like the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, for the Museum of Stock Wanking this would be a featured exhibit, next to an interactive modern art representation of a man flushing his wallet down the toilet.
 
I believe this seller is cleaning many of the pieces he sells. They all have the same look to them. Here's a link to another item. Notice that the metal is all the same color, and the stock has the same cleaned look with a slight sheen to it. The gun should have an overall mostly phosphate finish, not blued. Some small parts should be blued, like the bolt, rear sight, and upper band assemblies.

The stamps in the sling cutout are humped. "MUSEUM QUALITY"? Next to the Museum of Stock Humping there is the Museum of Bullshit. This one could be in both.

Definitely. It's been discussed before and there are a few sellers who have their own 'enhancement' techniques that make every gun look the same. I've heard of used moter oil cut with something? There are theories out there but your eyes do not decieve you on this point.



Regarding my earlier comment about 'droolers with more money than sense' check out the current 'winner' (weiner?) on the above piece Ozzy5d. He LOVES this seller and he loves overpaying... unitl he doesn't.
 
Getting up there in price now over $3200 auction ends tonight what will the final price be! Remember it has the ORIGINAL FACTORY BLUED FINISH!!!
