What's the ugliest gun you own, either due to wear, abuse, modifications, or because it's some oddball design only its inventor could love?
Post pics if you have 'em !
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, I don't have any ugly guns. My "ugliest" gun was probably a milled MAK90 that had a balsa wood butthole stock that was so beat up and cracked that I had to replace it with an aftermarket thumhole stock before I sold it.
Anybody have any fugly firearms they want to show off?
Not a complete gun, but still technically the firearm, but here is a pic of a lower that I acquired a while back. Figured it was originally a DPMS Arctic lower. Someone abused it with a dremil. Have since refinished with with alumahyde. Still looks rough, but going to slap a cheap upper on it, rattle can it, and keep it as a beater or a loaner for people I don't trust with nicer rifles.

The one in the middle...the Ruger Talo Toklat 454 Casull. Ugliest gun ever with that slabside barrel. It's just looks odd. It probably beats a Hipoint on the ugly scale.
But it is one of my favorite revolvers. Recoil is very manageable, balanced perfectly for a LARGE BORE 454 Casull, and it points very well. Built like a tank!
Then again, I love all of my revolvers.

I actually like the way Glocks look. Simple straight lines. Reminds me of the late 80s Chevy Caprice or Toyota Camry/Toyota Truck. Even the early 90s F150/250

I have two Ruger Mark 1's. A bull barrel and a standard. I've always thought the standard barreled one was ugly. But I've never hurt it's feelings by saying anything, it is a loyal, good shooter.

I can explain your Ruger, it's basically a reverse engineered Type 14.

You may be right, but I don't have a Toklat.
I think it looks unique. :p
A Glock 17 with a homemade grip reduction and stipple. It's ugly but shoots great.

Ugliest?
I'd have to say my SAR-1. About every couple years she gets a new low speed high drag coating of Krylon ultra flat black.
She might be ugly but she puts out when I need her to . . .
Are we talking"ugly" because of design or "ugly" because of finish or other accessories?
I don't think any of my guns are ugly but I never care about finish or furniture, I always assume ugly is the actual design.

That is one ugly gun. Looks like it would squirt out of your hand upon gripping. It looks like one that was built toward the end of the war after we bombed the living crap out of them and their factories could only produce the basic gun.......man, does that thing have tool marks. Even without the horrible tool marks it's would still be an extraordinarily ugly gun!

Generally considered the worst pistol ever made, the sear bar is on the frame and the firearm could be discharged without even touching the trigger.

I'd put the PHP (Prvi Hrvatski Pistolet.......First Croatian Pistol) not far from the type 94 nambu.

This would have been my submission if I still had one. The shooting via sear bar is def not a myth, did it several times
Glock.
That's some extra large heresy right there....
I actually had a gun shop salesperson call a G17 a "pretty gun" once. Seriously.
They may not be "pretty", but they sure ain't ugly...

What the fu..... It looks like one of those potmetal spark pistols got into a fight with a milling machine at one of those places Glocks go to get uglier. How much alcohol was involved in that particular pistol?

No matter what the gun, some retard will stick an AR buffer tube on the back of it so it can use a 4 position stock. And rails....lots of rails.

I was in the Marines with a guy named Shevchenko. That looks like something he'd design.

Do we call it the Shev or the chenko for short? More power to the milling machine......it needs more grabby cuts and serrations. I will say it's more nicely finished that the 94.

Think HK P7 squeeze-cocker with genetic mutations for the bottom trigger.

Sometimes you have to ask why? I'm stunned that it comes from Ukraine, that looks like something made by hand in the Sudan. Also not really seeing any improvements over a basic Makarov. It's just bizarre.

I was reading your link on the operation of the "Shev", it's amazing the thing worked....maybe it didn't. Must of been a bear to clean and I'm wondering what that doohickey in the trigger guard is...a safety?

Ugh...I've gone back and forth on that one. Glad you put it up...needed to be done.
That handle...err...grip, looks like someone said "oh shit, we forgot something! Grab me a mop handle and a bandsaw!".
