Default RE: 1943 303 British

ORIGINAL: schooter

it is a long branch. what does BUBBa'D mean. it in decent condition. but in need some tlc. it has been sitting in my grandpa's closet for about 12 years. i dont know the last time it was fired. i plan on taking it to a gunsmith to have it cleaned and check over before i shoot it.
I think what Pioneer2 meant by "BUBBA'D" is referring to a gun (usually a military piece) that some self-proclaimed gunsmith hack has decided to "sporterize" by removing wood, altering sights, bolts, metalwork, etc. It is most always detrimental to the original value of the piece if it was in ORIGINAL condition to start with. (Bubba being a "fictional" character who ruins everything he touches.)............
