Hell, I could write a book on some of the bubba'd firearms I have seen come into my workshop over the years! One of the most memorable was a Bayard single shot .22 from a West Coast possum trapper that came in for a misfiring problem. The metalwork was pretty rough and the original stock was broken years before. It had been 'restocked' with a totara fence post, shaped with an axe and an adze. It still had moss and lichen over most of it and was shaped like a wedge. The bore looked like the Strongman mine. I felt sorry for the guy and sold him a Toz 17 in good nick for $50. I binned his rifle but wish I had photographed it for future reference!
