Gunsmithing Scratching my head... WHAT THE ... ???

[ohiofarmer]

Given that I stumbled on this and it was good for a laugh, I thought a few others might enjoy it as well. How to ruin a Krieger... I mean, “custom” fluting

 

[Punkur67]

Ewww!

 

[Sieg]

Krieger Barrel With Custom Fluting. One of a kind piece, the fluting is amazing!

Technically this statement is accurate.

Though it's damn expensive for a tomato stake compared to rebar.

 

[powdahound76]

The “artist” who came up with the idea.
Gotta make something light, cause IT cant handle any more weight......

 

[whatsupdoc]

Well if it dont shoot you can always put it on a band saw, cut it into thin slices and make ninja throwing stars out of it.

 

[Evlshnngns]

Starting bid of 550....sweet deal

 

[Easy_E]

Looks like it might have been a deal gone south for the seller he has 22-250 reamer unused and go gauges fro sale also.

 

[uffduh]

You’re sure it’s not barstock for making iron crosses?

 

[hermosabeach]

he has a make offer option.... should I offer 5.50? 550 pennies?

 

[skipjack]

Yup looks like something that would come out of Lowville N.y..

 

[Steel head]

You’d have to be a world class goat roper to do that to a barrel.

 

[1moaoff]

Someone needs to buy it and send it off to one our preferred smiths and ask to have it fitted and especially request muzzle brake threads....

Then post the response from the smith!!!!

Ok
That would be epic!

[Lucreau]

I just offered .99 cents. Fingers crossed!!

 

[Powder_Burns]

Jesus christ.

 

[Mad_Charlie]

On the theme of WTF! Here is another that I found while drifting around on Utube.


Got to be almost as funny, I think he wanted help "fixing" it.

 

[Powder_Burns]

Maybe theres enough of the blank unfucked to make a chamber gauge of it.

 

[Det. John McClane]

The only positive comment I can share on the fluting profile is it reminds me of Boobs and Butt.

 

[RTH1800]

Is this still available?

 

[Jordanwickham]

Pretty sweet deal. The seller has that beaut, a reamer, and a headspace gauge. Seems to be an extravagant way to make a metal flower but I don't understand alot of people's idea of art.

 

[hellishot]

More like practice gone wrong and now they are trying to sell it as an intentional project.

 

[Lucreau]

He declined my offer and countered with $1k

 

[pmclaine]

Now I know what guys that post in the PX.....

"WTB - Take off barrels"

They practice their machine work and for shits and giggles se if the can sell them to recoup some cost for tooling wear.

 

[Luke]

Haha, I was trying to snipe your bid and offered him $5 and he came back with the $1k, too

 

[seanh]

Well I just made an offer... Hope it comes through. $4.50.

All you guys on here need to go and make an offer of similar dollar amount

 

[Lucreau]

Really interested to know if this guy is serious in thinking he has something unique?

 

[seanh]

Got a counter offer a 1500... LOL
Seriously guys go overload him with offers

 

[308Gunner]

I outbid all of you and offered 5.75 he said no I will try 6.00.

 

[hellishot]

LOL, the gall on that seller!

 

[mick243]

If he has volume, sims metal will give him $110aud per tonne......

 

[...]

 

[Emmaandhaley]

Well someone likes it a lot. It has a $300 bid on it now.

 

[seanh]

Yeah I know. Probably due to the counter offer I sent him.

7.56
With a note that said basically before you flute any more barrels go do your research on the stuff done around the late eighteen hundreds of the turn of the century. ( wish I could find those old documents...)

My guess is, he had a friend make a bid so we didn't have to put up with our bullshit anymore... LOL

I hope his friend wins so that the seller has to pay eBay final sale fees and relisting fees.

 

[MOUNTIC]

Bet that thing will shoot!

 

[Doc68]

Message I sent him and reply I got...

 

[1moaoff]

He disnt fuck it up so maybe he paid 300 for it fucked up???? Even better!!!! Ask him who fluted it... was it a quality gunsmith???

 

[Easy_E]

If he would take alot less for the thing it would be interesting to chamber it and shoot just for kicks ....

 

[supercorndogs]

True, maybe he will take 7.50 Euro.

Nope, he got Buddly to bid on it.

 

[Diablo]

You’d have to be a world class goat roper to do that to a barrel.

Expect any lowly goat-roper would know better, this idiot must be a city kid

My old VTR!

Actually, shot pretty well...but the barrel "gimmick" was exactly that...

 

[phxfa]

Sold! $300.00

 

[hellishot]

Watch we see it get relisted because the winning bidder was actual a buddy of the seller.

 

[Mad_Charlie]

Yeah, it's not like it looks like all of the other barrels for sale. The guy is a dick selling a piece of crap and he knows it. I hope his bud shoves it up his a$$ when he can't get his money back.
