You ever come across one of those auctions that make you question how the person manages to operate a computer?

Some favorites:

"It is one of 75 specially built for various Federal Agencies. The FDIC where I worked got 8 of these in 1989" Just ignore the RR prefix SN, which means its a freedom group build after 2007.

"Do not ask who my son is - he does not want his name thrown out there for obvious reasons." Like being associated with this pile of shit?

"It is a modified Remington Model 700 XTR" Except for the fact that model never existed.

"extra layer of TriNyte PVD coating" Is the coating rust colored?

"he took it to the Ranger Armorer and set to Army Ranger Sniper Standards" I would have loved watching an armorer bitch slap this guys son for insulting him by bringing this in.

Oh, and I knew exactly what this rifle was. It was a Black Friday special for Dicks Sporting goods.

The most mind blowing thing, is that people are bidding on this rusting $349 rifle .....

I miss when the Army would let soldiers bring their dad's FDIC issued hunting rifles in to be accurized, so they could take them to war. The good ol' days.


Actually, you could...

In 1865...

The Army sold a lot of the obsolete Smith carbines when the Allin conversion of rifled muskets into trapdoor actions became standard. And a shit ton of 1851/1860 Colts and 63' Remingtons were bought by soldiers upon discharge at the end of hostilities and most of these weapons would go on to see LONG and productive service lives on farms and ranches going right into the middle of the 20th century...

And the other way around applied as well. One popular folk legend is that many men on both sides carried personally-owned .31 caliber pocket revolvers into service with them... NOT as battlefield weapons but to intimidate battlefield surgeons into not attempting to amputate their limbs if they got wounded.
 
"The FDIC where I worked got 8 of these in 1989...and I was assigned this one, which I used when necessary."

When would it ever be necessary for a FDIC employee to use a "sniper rifle?"
Protecting a mall, of course. And saving the governors son from kidnapping… don’t you recognize Gecko45?

Bow down in the presence of greatness!

Comes with Velcro sneakers and a copy of “How to Work Concrete while Benching 200 with Bow Kills For Dummies.”

Ah hahah.

Wonder if we can lure this guy in here?

Sirhr

Used only, with extreme prejudice, on militant, and violent, bank presidents, who refuse to federally insure their customer's accounts up to $100,000.
 
Sigh. I know people like this, well, knew them. I don’t know what drives someone to just make so much stupid shit up, but man, it seems rampant these days.
