Default 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?

A shooting buddy was given a Browning recoiless trap to test and it just plain didn't work. End of that test.

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!
