I bid on a real dog turd…

How exciting & I don’t even know what to think!
The “what did you buy last” thread made me feel a bit stagnant on the auction side. So here I am.
1) It is a total “bubba” gun with “custom” work, it gives Glock a new meaning of Ugly (you know me, it has to be a Glock)… side bonus- it’s part of a police confiscation auction, so you know its sweet….
2) I’m actually winning the auction
3) The parts are still worth more than the transaction at my max bid. & I bet technically it still functions despite Bubba’s best gunsmithing.
Will update in a few days ya’ll.

Give us a hint
OK- The frame is so bad I will throw probably throw it away if I win.
Oooh! That's some custom work right there.
Kinda makes you wonder what somebody was thinking when they do something like that. I guess this is where I'm supposed to wish you good luck on the auction, but somehow my heart just isn't in it to do so.😁 Bob
On the bright side, as a tackle box or truck gun, you wouldn't have to worry that it could get any worse.
Dog turd = Glock. Yeah, you'll get no argument from me old pal.
OMG!!! Are they all like this one??
If you get outbid, just go away.
That would strip off I would think and help it. After that it might surprise you. Kind of like a late night date. It looked bad at the time and in the morning they still look bad but now you have a little attachment. 🤗
Good luck. At least they didn’t ship it to Ukraine like that one pd did with all their firearms that couldn’t be returned!
just use it and don’t cry if it gets a scratch
Just imagine all the tedious hours of work over a hot soldering iron that "custom" grip took.
If you win you have my deepest sympathy. Lol
So the reason I bid is because a friend has a new laser engraver that seems pretty capable, If ai win Im going to see if that can be cleaned up.
Am I seeing a 460 Rowland in the making?
Fill 'er up with JB Weld and sand 'er smooth... it'll pass for "New Old Stock". 😁
Good Lord!
I'm curious as to what your results will be. Will the Laser Engraver melt all that "stippling?"
There is a gun shop east of Springfield MO that went nuts with their laser engraver. They laser engraved their shop name on almost every accessory in the store. I did grab a Lets Go Brandon AR mag from them. It is a interesting store as you feel like you stepped back into the 1980's with their collection nunchucks, samurai swords, and throwing stars - all laser engraved with their name. They even have small casket shaped gun cases - also Laser Engraved.
How can someone do that to a gun and sleep at night? Is that a crack that runs from the top of the mag release back towards the pin?
Whoever buys that doesn't just want a Glock, they are desperate for one.
Are you sure that is not a ULTRA-RARE factory offering?
Was that thing in a fire???? That poor thing looks like it was drug down 20 miles of bad road.
Nothing wrong with a gun that has character, just don't let your friends see you with it.
Kinda like owning a pink scooter....🙈
Actually for real all kidding a side. If you win the bid I would be curious to hear back here on the forms if it functions reliably.
I always believed in function over beauty. I know colts can take a beating and still function. Just curious how much abuse a Glock can take.
If you get it for less than $400 you can still resell everything but the frame for that price.
I won!
Gen 5 Glock 17 for $306 bucks.
Payment sent & will let you know what kind of mess I have once received.
My condolences...
I hope the camera made it look worse than it really is, WB!
But, but, can't you just pre-heat your oven to 425 and re-mold the bad parts???🤣
Hopefully, the shipping and transfer costs still make it worth while.....
Perfection!!!
Well, you can always bury it, just like the dog should have done.
Don't forget to take one of those dog 💩 baggies with you when you pick it up.
That's unique.
