Red Green Commemorative 303

[Duffy]

I'm not sure if this gun belongs in "Hunting and Sporting Arms" or not.

I believe my father in law shot a few moose and coyotes with it in a bygone age. He told me he had an unregistered 303 rifle he didn't want around and would I please take it. It was collecting dust in the tack room and he just didn't want it around.

I call it a "Red Green Commemorative". I particularly like the custom V rear sight that some clever gunsmith manufactured on it.

It is a real tack driver. I put a tack in the corner of a target and drive it into the wood with its butt stock.

It's amazing what gets the job done around the farm. Love to see rifles that actually got used (and abused ?).

I would point and laugh... if I didn't know that in my fathers gun locker is his fathers .303 "farm" gun, that looks quite similar. Goes to show you that you don't need an expensive 1/10000 MOA gun to get the job done.

this is real good. I never saw a duct-tape bedding before

It would be awesome to shoot opossum with it.

cool. You could try finding some original furniture for it or building your own.

Regardless of its condition, I bet it still put food on the table and fed the family or kept the predators away from the livestock.

cheap, pratcial, who gives a damn what it looks like. it just shoots and feeds a family.

Truly fugly! Butt disk looks good. Maybe still has volley-sight. That's what makes original ones worth so much.

Remember, a crinkle in your duct tape shows poor workmanship!!! Back home we call that stuff "saskatchewan chrome" thats why it costs so much is because it is so good.
