Who needs a lathe when you have an angle grinder??!!

We’ve all had our fair share of bubba stories but this one has to be inducted into the Bubba Hall Of Fame!

I’ll just let the pictures do the talking











And to top it off, what Bubba barrel installation project would be complete without absolutely NO shoulder bearing??!!



There is a happy ending for this action.
With that barrel mutilate beyond recognition it was laid to rest and
A new barrel has taken its place.
It’s really too bad too because it was chambered in 25-06.

 

[iain.quayle]

At least he refinished it

 

[Nabs]

I thought I saw some horror stories but that is just truly bad, thank god nobody fired it.

 

[Snider shooter]

Wow. Just absolutely nasty. I had to actually had to take mine apart and compare just to get a better idea.

 

[Sir Plus]

Was it advertised as an authentic T2 Garand from Germany?

 

[granite]

Was that one of the butcher jobs Wolverine had?

 

[Janeau]

Bubba was alive and well before Covid and he will be carrying on after...
Incredible the number of guns that are butchered or damaged by the Bubba of this world.

 

[olivedrab]

Must be true cause you can't make this up!

 

[Light Infantry]

What would have been the reason to do that to the barrel?

 

[infidel29]

What would have been the reason to do that to the barrel?

It was too smooth for bubba's liking?!

 

[dead meat]

That would have buffed out.

 

[Pblatzz]

OMFG,.... feeling dizzy, Head feeling light,...

WTF would anyone do this for?

Grind the barrel on a full contour profile because they couldn't figure out to modify the rear handguard?

Below is done crudely, but the concept is what should have been done..

As our Newfoundland friends would say.....

Lord Tunderin' Jesus Bye!!!!

 

[jonh172]

There are remnants of carbon in the barrel, chamber area etc.. so I’m pretty sure someone was shooting it!

This beauty came out of an estate, kudos to the new owner for not Giving it a try before the rebarreling!

 

[Saleen84]

Yeesh, they could have at least used a flapper wheel to do that instead of a grinding disk.

 

[kjohn]

Oh dear! That’s enough to cause nightmares.

 

[Wormald1995]

Yes it sure was!! Sold as unsafe to fire, they got that right for sure..
Now it looks great and shoots even better

 

[wd113]

my gawd thats nasty.

I'm pretty sure an angle grinder could smooth that right up

Can just picture the advertisement on the EE, "custom stippling to reduce weight and aid in cooling. One of a kind, no lowballers I know what I have"
