A discussion on a muzzleloading Facebook group got me to thinking about this.
What I’m talking about is a rifle or pistol that has had work or alterations done that changed it from a serviceable and safe firearm to an accident waiting to happen.
The classic for me was seeing a 22/250 built on a Krag action. The classic that hopefully never actually got done was the Flobert some old guy was carrying around at a flea market. I would have been reluctant to shoot CB caps in it. His thought was that if he couldn’t sell it he would have it chambered for a Hornet. Pointing to the muzzle, his reasoning was that the hole was about the same.
