Ugliest shotgun ever made
 

This is the ugliest shotgun I own, show us a picture of your ugly shotgun. This one is a Shattuck 8 gauge with 40 inch barrels.

A shotgun designed by committee.

That gun still looks better than a Winchester 24.

That is a fugly shotgun.

I'm with Brian, the Win. 24 ranks near the top.

My Father railed against two things in American shotgunnery -- bottom dumper pump guns and Winchester Model 24s, so I am genetically predisposed to dislike them.

Personally I've always felt the beavertail forearms on Ithaca's Lefever Model 4 Double Trap Gun is pretty darn ugly --

Only thing worse might be the forearm on the Iver Johnson SuperTrap --

Attachment 87238

those are ugly guns....but my ugly gun would be a bolt action sears 12 ga shotgun with the poly choke on it....a poly choke was a fine thing but ugly as home made sin.....charlie

I can't count the number of Iver Johnson "Super Traps" I have seen that gun guys have passed on because of the "non original, home made" forends, including the one I bought. Yup, it is ugly.

I keep throwing this ducking out there whenever ugly comes up...

Ugly but cool
 

Ugly but cool! Makes the 24 a prom queen!

:eek:

I remmember reading a Roger Barlow article on that gun in a Shooters Bible or Gun Digest from back in the 60’s .

Dont see those too often especially in that condition , always wondered how they compared to the Davenport 8 gauges .


Personally Id say ugliest shotgun made pick any of them made post war :rotf:

I think that is a rather interesting gun. good conversation peace.

I've been known to buy the strange and unusual and this fits the bill. The condition the 40 inch barrels and 8 gauge I had no control over handing out the money.

I think it was a good buy , im still kicking myself for passing up on buying a Davenport years ago .

Ken, with the comb so far below the center-line of the bore it looks like it would really clobber the shooter.

Please let us know.:whistle:

Not sure about ugly but this is sure interesting , a semi auto 8 gauge from what little information I found it was based off a Ithaca mag 10/Remington SP10 scaled up .

I would trade both of my Davenports for that semi auto eight gauge.

now, mount that in a turret on the bow of a TBD (The Duck Boat) and watch them drop

:shock::shock::shock:

:rotf::rotf::rotf:

That is cool! I have never seen that semi-auto. At first glance I thought that was Daryl.

I found that picture on a English wildfowling forum I like reading on , they have quite a few guys on there who hunt with 8 gauges . I think they said 3 or so of those semi autos were built but they dont know where they ended up .

I suppose a semi auto 8 gauge isnt too crazy when you think of the pump action 4 gauge the Russians used to make lol .

Dean I have not shot this gun yet but it does weigh nearly 13 lbs, that might tone down the recoil.

Pretty likely.

Your all wrong, a Roper shotgun is the ugliest shotgun produced!

This gun is so ugly I can’t even look at it

What gun Mike?

Well, at least it's a side-by-side...

I can just barely read the dog tag stamps.

Ugly gun
 

Franzen and a blonde. What's new about that?

And I did see the gun in that picture; after a while........

But, back to the original subject, I don't think I own an ugly gun.

I looked for fleas and ticks. Didn't find any.

Ever consider letting go of that ugly shotgun?

I have owned the two ugliest shotguns ever made. They make a 24 look like Bridgette Bardot. I'm in the cornfield this afternoon so you'll have to wait until tonight to see them but, trust me, you'll agree with me when you do. Man, I've been waiting for so long for someone to start this thread.

Disclaimer: I didn't buy either of them. More details to come.

Rain knocked us off and I'm in early so, here goes..........

No. 1 ugliest shotgun ever made, the Browning Recoilless Trap. Bought one $20 ticket in a fundraising raffle and won it.

Aaaaand No. 2 ..............the El Faisan (The Pheasant), a .410 double gifted to me by my cousin (he really doesn't hate me ........ really). Made in some Near East country, they're still available on gun auction sites. (The only reason it didn't tie the Browning Recoilless Trap for 1st place is that, ugly as it is, it's a double!!, with hammers!!. Trigger pulls so heavy they will hold the gun off the floor without "breaking" ........... with a 10 lb. bucket of lard tied to the muzzles.

Okay boyzzz, y'all got to go some to top those two.

I could not agree more, I picked one up at an estate auction dirt cheap once. I used it for a partial trade on a VH 12, man was that thing ugly!

Then the mind of Al Ljutic gave us this --

I saw a modern competitive auto a few years ago colored orange, pink, red and a few other race car colors. That one took the cake for me

The Model 24 to have may be this one in the RIA Auction --
