[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4333753, member: 46104"] Such truck gun use was quite common both in my youth when Rose's Dept Store sporting goods had wooden barrels crammed with cosmoline packed beater Mausers for $18ea, and even much later circa 20yrs ago when beater fencepost wood Turk Mausers flooded the market for $49, with 100rd bandoleers of really hot 1930s vintage Turk ammo for $5ea...many in both instances with cracked/broken stocks and same with guards, if there at all. In both instances, I knew folk who bought them and then left them in bed of truck, sometimes with a spraypaint job to forestall rust, and others who figured blasting out rust from barrel would suffice. None of these were collectible , and only modern insanity/desperation has people paying insane high prices today for similar condition guns. They were, and are, beaters...and perfect truck bed or barn guns...or action donors for a prettier gun. [/QUOTE]
