Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds "FUgly" Model of 1917 Winchester 308 Norma mag. Pic hvy

I recall someone looking for ugly guns maybe this will fit the bill. Model of 1917 Winchester 308 Norma Magnum, seriously neglected at some point. Bore is excellent crisp bright and shiny. $450 plus actual shipping.

That lamp in your window................I love it! It looks like a "Major Prize".

Major Award!!

I am rusty. That must mean I need to watch that movie again. It has only been about 10 years since I have seen it.

First thing I noticed too.

"Frag-ile" in a bad Italian accent, folowed by "You'll shoot your eye out kid".

There definitely is some potential in that rifle, if I it was a decade ago I'd build either a .358 Norma or .375 H&H. I have a 1917 Winchester that's a .300 H&H, I bought it in a fairly rough condition as well. I didn't do much to it except re-stock it, added a Timney, and threw a scope on it. It already had the belly taken out, changed to COO, and rechambered to .300 H&H with the feed rails worked.

"You'll shoot your eye out kid".

BB gun is leaning on wall, 15th pic from top.

FUGLY for sure.

I believe this is the post you are looking for.

I can't believe someone hasn't asked the customary questions:

What is the round count? How does it shoot? How much does it weight? Trade for something worth 1/10 of your asking price?

LOL.....free bump for something you don't see everyday.

Should buff out easy.

I can run it through my bead blaster and strip all the bluing off of the barrel for a buyer, no charge.
Bump

This could be made into a nice hunting rifle if you were willing to make that lamp shade into a bandolier for it!!

I wish every seller would take a lesson from this man's photography...THIS is how you represent a rifle. That picture of the throat gives a buyer 100% confidence. Well done, sir.

Very true

This little gem here that an older gentleman invented and gave me one slides in most receivers after you take the bolt out and you can look at the throat and most of the bore magnified slightly, brass tube with a magnifier in the end of it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder....
The barrel is an easy fix.
She's a beauty....

Must be Italian.
