My cousin Fred found an old revolver in an abandoned house he was tearing up for materials; since he owed me $200.00 for posting bail for him a couple of months ago, he offered it to me for repayment. I was hoping someone here could provide some information about this gun. It’s got a really long barrel, and says “.357 S&W Magnum†on the barrel. There’s some gold-looking wire all over the gun, and it’s got swirls and stuff all over it. When you open up the cylinder, the only number inside is “DW-1â€.
How’d I do, pricewise?
Fred knows all about most guns, since he was trained by the army to be a special ops ninja. He was so good at it, they sent him home after only two months, and told him to keep an eye on our home county. He was doing just that one night a few months ago practicing his ninja skills, when old man Earnhardt came out of his house, racking the slide on his pump shotgun. Fred stayed real still, just like he was trained, until Earnhardt’s fiest dog sank his teeth into Fred’s leg, and he let loose with a holler; hence the need for bail money.
I’ve been wanting a tactical gun, so me and Fred cut off the barrel real short with a hacksaw. The hammer was kind of funny looking, real flat like, so we heated it up and bent it up, and filed it so it’s good for fannin’. We also filed off some rough looking stuff on top of the frame and barrel, so it’s nice and smooth now. For the finishing touch, we sanded the whole gun, and painted it with Rustoleum – we’re calling this finish Tactical Red, and if any of you own a gun company and want to use this finish, we’ll sell the rights to you for a million dollars apiece, because I had the idea and Fred’s uncle had the Rustoleum. The gun came in an old greasy box, so we burnt that to blacken the sights. The grips must have been made out of inferior wood, as they had turned almost completely white, so we soaked them in tung oil, and coated them with shellac. Fred says all tactical guns have to have optics, so we bought a Chinese red dot scope at the hardware store for $19.95, and soldered it to the barrel. Then we wrapped it real tight with baling wire and duct tape. We also bought some ammo while at the store – it said .38 S&W on the box, so we figured it would work okay.
Fred’s momma won’t let us shoot on their land anymore, she says it makes the chickens too nervous, although I think fresh eggs that have already been scrambled in the shell is another money-making idea. Anyway, we went to the wildlife range to try her out. The shells seemed a little too big at the base, so we grabbed a rock to help push them in, but about then the range officer came running over. He looked over our gun, and told us it was too powerful to shoot at his range. He must have been really impressed, because he seemed to be almost half-crying, half-laughing as he walked away.
Since I can’t shoot it around here, I’m going to sell it. I figure since we modified it a little, it’s in only about 98% condition, so I’m knocking $50.00 off my asking price; but since it’s an original, one-of-a-kind, Tactical Red, I’m asking $3000.00
What do you guys think it's worth?
