This oughtta be a felony...

No offense guys, but these guns remind me of those BBQ guns, or whatever those Texas pimp guns are called.

To each his own, but these are not for me, and would not be allowed in my house for that matter.

the DE is out of the factory. If you don't like it don't buy it. Someone took that other gun and turned it into a granny gun. eww.

You know, I actually kind of like the tiger-stripe Desert Eagles. In their nickel or chrome, at least, but it was also a big thing on the early-age paintball markers that I'm a fan of, so maybe I'm biased. The gold is just a bit too much.

I'm all for dressing up a gun how you like it, but like someone else said: at least do a good job of it.

I could actually let jewels alone, if they were professionally set in. I'd still laugh at it, though.

There is no difference between the Desert Eagle and the Swede. Both are non-traditional and are limited in their appeal. Don't like 'em,don't buy 'em. I don't want gaudy 20" bright chrome wheels on my truck either but that doesn't make you wrong if you do. You want to see gaudy guns? Check out what people do to Ruger 10/22s. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The Swede could have the paint stripped from the stock and repainted for a traditional looking hunting rifle.

Come clean Judicator-- Is that your rifle and you just want the exposer?

Bling

my friend use to carry a neon purple switch blade. he could leave that thing laying around all day and nobody would touch it. guess his theory was right.

yea but it comes with a 7 round clip!

Compared some of the "Native American" guns that I've seen, that Swede is pretty tame.

I guess some of you guys have never been to a benchrest rifle match?

Those guys son't pull any punches in decorating their super accurate rifles, and each year someone comes with a new rifle painted in as different a way as possible to one-up the rest of them. Some samples here: http://viperactions.com/ Look in the 'pictures'.

Maybe it was a [woman's] rifle?


Who knows...

Ahh...a bit of "bling for the sling."

Personally, I see no real need to "customize" a weapon with flashy paint and/or shiny accessories. I prefer my weapons all black, parkerized/black, black/stainless or wood/stainless (or black).

I once saw a guy at the local range with a .9mm painted with a lime green base, adorned with splashes of all sorts of color. It looked like a piece of candy. Ugly, ugly, ugly.

To me, weapons are serious pieces of machinery....not a canvas for artistic expression. In regards to weapons, the only "art" Im interested in is the attention to detail, functionality and finish (all via sheer craftsmanship).

Judicator,Think about this: do YOU want someone YOU don't know and will never meet,telling YOU what YOU can do with YOUR own property? Property that THEY will never own or even see in person?

A bit off topic, but...

Now, tell this to all of those who constantly abuse the phrase "mall ninja."

Unfortunately and oddly enough, fortunately, opinions (mine included) are like...well, you know.

Don't like it, don't buy it. Nuff said

That it's less than the normal price for a Swede and no bids says lots.

I kind of like the gold DEagle, that would be a cool BBQ gun. I also like the Viperaction guns, they are indeed flashy. Same goes for anything you can do to a 10/22, or AR-15, or even a Kalashnikov. However, that Swede is tragic! Even, if you did that to a Mosin it would be tragic on some level. But to take the sleekest, sportiest, sexiest Mauser made (IMO) and glue fake jewels to it is horrendous on so many levels. He can do what he wants to it, it's his, but good grief!!! Maybe he should have traded his jewels for a dash of good taste.

I'm kind of a live and let live guy -- I just can't get too worked up over what someone else does with their guns, but I know for danged sure that some folks would get their panties all in a wad over what I've done to some of mine.

To each his own...

He didn't glue the fake jewels to the rifle. He glued them to an aftermarket synthetic stock. Knock 'em off and repaint the stock. No big deal! By the way.

Well, now I've seen everything. A rifle with a Prince Albert.

Hmphhhhhh !

That is a large ring M98 not a Swede

Anyboby notice that that is a large ring M98 not a Swede? The only thing Swedish about that rifle is the caliber.
