Not safe for work.
We'll see how long this thread lasts.

:what:
At a loss for words really.

[PotatoJudge]

Does your wife know you clicked on a link for "Steyr Classic Mannlichers w/ Highly Erotic Engrave?" :evil:

[nalioth]

Why IBTL?

It's a fine firearm with an unusual choice of engraved scenarios.

[younganddumb]

thats diffrent

[SGW42]

I've seen nudes engraved before on Perazzis...

Not so much like that though.

Wow.

[Jason_G]

Looks exactly like the crappy sketches I take up from some of my male high schoolers from time to time :uhoh:.

Jason

[Deer Hunter]

I like it.

Then again, I like different.

[Evil Monkey]

The forth pic censors some hardcore penetration.

that's called "working the action" and chambering a round :D

[45B@cav]

Wow!!!!!! Sweet!

[Kind of Blued]

Oh my goodness. That's probably one of a kind.

Surprisingly banal choice of wood for $28,000 however.

[anymanusa]

that is <> beautiful...

[chipperi]

soda out my nose oww you may owe me a keyboard for that one.

[sarduy]

Lmfao...!!!

[hacksaw]

I am trying VERY hard to NOt say "Fire in the hole!" Aww nuts, I went and did it.:evil:

[Seancass]

yeah, that's weird. the guy who had that done is weird. The guy who did it for him is a little weird by association. Atleast no body has big on it yet.

p.s. most expensive p0rn ever?

edit: woooo post #900 involved nudity! yay.

[atblis]

Wow, the mods must be sleeping still. They're usually pretty uptight about things like this. In one of my previous threads, somebody simply mentioned the word porn, and it got closed.

[frankcostanza]

nice craftsmanship, but wieeeeeerd

[Jim Watson]

Subject matter aside, that is not very good engraving. Might even be etching finished out with a graver. The coarse scroll is ok for a hunting rifle, but nothing special. Jason G. is right. The figures, animal, human, and mythical, are quite crude. About what you would expect a Russian gangster to like.

There is a site somewhere out there with Italian bullino shotgun engraving of very lifelike critters and an Artemis who is a BABE and no fooling.

Found it, Fabbri Fantasy models, one of several at:
http://www.fabbri.it/Engraving%2084S4.htm
Not as nekkid, but far better drawn.

[elChupacabra!]

Yeah if the OP says IBTL... well, IBTL :)

[Art Eatman]

Sorta like our government: Take something with intrinsic value. Scribble on it, lowering the value.

Like paper, calling it "money".

In this case, a nice rifle...

[TehK1w1]

Definitely an odd choice of engraving. I have to agree with Jim Watson, it wasn't done very well. Details are lacking, proportions are off, etc. I wonder if the owner couldn't find anyone reputable who was willing to do the work...

[Vaarok]

Nye Kulturny, but most noveau-riche Russians are lacking in taste.

[Wes Janson]

That link Jim posted is an example of real skill and art. The original link is an example of overpriced junk.

[Bobarino]

kinda brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "gun porn" now doesn't it?

Bobby

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

Yes it does. I find it oddly intriguing - still wouldn't pay more than about $2,500 for the pair though, so I wish them luck with the asking price.

[Halo is for Kids]

:oIs this pronounced man-licker carbine?:o

[mgregg85]

Quite strange, interesting, but strange.

[HB]

Its not the size of the gun, but shot placement, shot placement, shot placement.....

That is a strange engraving indeed.

There needs to be a sticky with famous THR quotes. You guys are great.





FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!!

ibtl

3rd edit: I'm still giggling over that one. FITH. There, I just coined a new e-acronym. Feel free to use it liberally.

[Matt-J2]

Sticky bolt syndrome takes on a whole new meaning here...

[bensdad]

The engraving on the gun in the OP looks amazingly like the art in a comic called Ironwood, by Bill Willingham. It was sort of a porno-comic. This was about the only pic I could find without scanning in a page from a book. Anyway, it was not Willingham's best work. Pretty much just an excuse to draw nekid ladies.

[halfbreed808]

Kinda gives a new meaning when a wife asks,"Whatta you doing? Playing with your guns again?!":evil:

[Sylvan-Forge]

Mr. Watson, that is some very fine work indeed, thanks for sharing!

.

That Steyr is, to put it nicely, um .. interesting.
Thanks for the chuckle, atblis :)
Aside from the 'frolicking characters', the other gravings seem nicely finished.

.

[chrissmallwood]

I dont think Ive ever had that much fun hunting.
I hope he didnt have an out-of-battery-discharge.:D

1. Kinda gives a new meaning to "lower Receiver".:p

[Dave P]

How can a virgin be making it with the beast???

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

Looks like the owner of that will "get some" one way or another on opening morning.

[Caliban]

reminds me of an old joke

yo' mama's like a shotgun

one cock and she blows

ibtl

[Guns and more]

Bidding started at $19,000. No takers.
:what:

[atblis]

Don't forget you're getting two rifles for that price!

[hotlead]

what does IBTL mean?

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

In Before The Lock

[Geronimo45]

Artemis "getting it on" with a half-goat. Not something I want to have a mental picture of, much less engraved on my rifle. :eek:

[Tim the Enchanter]

From the gunbroker blurb:
"These rifles were commissioned by at the time Russia's wealthiest person who recieved 9 years in prison for reasons people say were not true. This person has been on US's Sixty Minutes tv show. "

Sounds like it belonged to this guy:
