I had some time on my hands while She Who Must Be Obeyed was at a crafting camp, so you know what that means: Trainwrecks!
Project name: Muffin Top
Muffin Top is a 1952-ish K38 Masterpiece. She has all the right curves in all the right places, plus one extra curve that really doesn't belong. About an inch from the muzzle there is a ring in the barrel and a rather unsightly bulge.
Muffin Top arrived with two of the three T's. The target hammer and trigger are there but the target stocks are not. If fact there are not any stocks at all. For testing I slapped on the first set of goodyears on top of the pile.
Over the years Muffin top has accumulated her fair share of "honest wear" in the form of scratches, buggered up screw heads, thinning finish, and a random number 4 just below the address.
I've shot some .22's that had ringed barrels and still shot just fine but that's not the case with Muffin Top. I have shotguns that throw tighter patterns than this poor girl. At 15 yards I couldn't even keep 6 shots on the paper.
