Guns you're embarrassed to own

[Mecanik]

The one thing it has going for it is amazingly it's very comfortable to hold. The stock fits me perfectly. The only thing that's missing is sights. This was a project that got interrupted before sights were mounted so I thought I just might drill and tap it and mount something on it to see if it actually will shoot. To have it shootable would be a hoot.

Drill, tap and mount is something I can relate to, but as far as that rifle is concerned, it is a piece only an owner could love! I'd like to know how it shoots.

Here's some pics. If anyone has a clue who built this let me know. Something this strange must have a story behind it.

Looks factory to me, some Japanese special forces unit, early WW2 issue.

NOT THAT I OWN ONE, but......Glock...

I didn't OWN it, but that bubblegumed piece of bubblegum M203 some moron thought was an improvement over my beloved M79!

Okay, I take back everything I said at the beginning of this thread on page 1. I guess you can be embarrassed by your firearm. When I saw the pics of the "modified" Arisaka, I started getting queezy and a headache came on.
Back in 1981, I had a nearly fully intact Arisaka with the Chrysanthemum and airplane sights, the bayonet was missing but obtainable. Back then when I got it, I thought it was a typical battle worn ugly WW2 rifle. After seeing this one, mine was a thing of beauty.
My condolences!

... a Walther P99 that the SN# started with something classy like FAG1XXX

I had a couple of Davis 380 semiautos back in the 80s.
I never pulled a chrome one, but they are the guns that made me think of ALL striker-fired guns as cheap junk... yes, that included the new-fangled Glocks. I maintained that belief until about 10 yrs ago when l bought my XDM.
The last one (of 2 or 3 that l owned) fell through a rust hole in the floor of my old Int'l Scout ll on l-17 in AZ, somewhere between Black Canyon City and Flagstaff. Exact whereabouts unknown. An befittingly inglorious death.
