Did this guy do what it looks like he did to an old colt?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=134531173

This should make trigger locks obsolete.

 

[colorado_handgunner]

Terrible!

 

[TexasRifleman]

Idiot thinks he's gonna get a starting bid of $500 too.

Be interesting to see if someone is dumb enough to buy that.

Nothing would surprise me though.

 

[halfbreed808]

:banghead:Ooooookaaaaaayyyyyyy!! I would love to hear the reasoning behind this madness.

 

[meytind]

We need to shut this down before the Brady Bunch starts demanding mandatory encasing in plastic instead of trigger locks.

 

[HOME DEPOT GEORGE]

I could see putting an old beat up derringer in lucite or whatever he used and have it for a paper weight or whatever but this little colt looks brand new.

 

[Nicodemus38]

isnt there a way to dissolve lucite that wont dissolve the gun?

 

[average_shooter]

Would there be any way at all to salvage that pistol? Maybe slowly melt or chemically remove the lucite?

I pray it was either totally junked but made to look good, or that this is somehow reversible...

 

[ccsniper]

heck, if it was 50 bucks I would buy it!!!

 

[jojo200517]

Well the good news is coin collecting people say that acetone will slowly dissolve lucite, no idea what that would do to grips on gun. It also seems that it will melt at around 140 deg C.

 

[hso]

What an absolute moron!

On 2 counts!

Cast a perfectly good little gun in Lucite AND the try to sell it on Gunbroker.

Methylene chloride or chloroform would dissolve the lucite without damaging the metal. I don't know what it would do to the grip material.

I'd like to see that presented at a Michigan P.D. and ask for it to be "safety inspected".

 

[HOME DEPOT GEORGE]

Would this still have to go through an FFL?

 

[bootless]

What if it's loaded?

 

[AWorthyOpponent]

What if it's loaded?

DUH!!! He obviously was smart enough to clear the chamber...the bullet was ruined WITH the gun...not inside it...

 

[Steve N]

For all we know, it could have been a rusted out POS unsafe to fire, that he polished and chromed.

 

[wankerjake]

I might get a tear tattooed on my cheek for this one...

 

[Titan6]

It is going to be hard to check the action on that one. I think I will pass.

Of course, the real kicker is -

NO sales to CA, MA, NY or any location where this is a restricted item

:banghead::banghead::banghead:

 

[AirForceShooter]

In case of Emergency "Break Plastic"

Jeeze.

[The Lone Haranguer]

It is just a decorative display, on what might not even be an operable gun. I wouldn't pay half a grand for it.

 

[Blackbeard]

Don't give the anti's any more ideas for "safe storage"!
