All right /k/, what the hell is this thing? I found it in a pawn shop in town. Its a 7mm mauser but has a weird ass tube on top that looks almost like it slips on the end of the barrel which is a little chamfered but I don't think the tube on top actually comes out. The thing doesn't have sights on it so is it some sort of weird mauser close quarters sight or something?
I have a local shop that has a huge ass load of C&R and class 3 stuff so I figured they know from the pic. They have no idea what it is. Any ideas?
Underside
No one has any idea? That's surprising
It was a Model 1893 of one kind or another, probably Spanish since they bought/made the majority of them.
Can't speak to the 'tard-o-matic tube on top, be it sight or otherwise. Bubba really fucked this one hard.

Uh, dude, your driver's license is in that pic.
Nice neckbeard. And name. And home address.
>>29981659
>Drivers license is in pic
This is gunna be a good thread
>>29982112
And in the second one too, even easier to read.

>neckbeard
Why do people insist on growing those stupid fucking things. There has never been one that looked good. Never.
>>29982095
Holy shit you weren't kidding. Neckbeard like that I'd figure you'd be from PA
>>29982154
I was being sarcastic.
tl;dr: OP dun goofed.
>>29982194
I understand that. I just took the opportunity to deliver a small bit of social commentary.
>>29981659
What kinda bike do ya own, buddy-o?
>>29982060
The attachment of it seems professional like it was made by the factory. I don't think at least that part was a Bubba job

Two, klr650 that I blew the engine in last year and need to rebuild when I have the time, and a VFR800 I got to hold me over in the meantime.
>>29982209
To what? fire blanks to fire something from the tube? What could go into the tube?
>>29982182
David Bratton?

Are you Henry David Thoreau's great great great great grandson?
Or Dwight's cousin Mose from The Office?

I mean if you guys want to doxx me it's not like there's a lot I can do. I already have so much info on public record like my callsign with the FCC its not really new. All it really tells you that you couldn't know before is that I likely own guns and am interested in a weird Mauser.
>>29982299
Nice dub dubs
>>29982231
I have no idea. It's hollow all the way through. I didn't know if maybe it was some weird scope attachment or it was like some sort of sight like a ghost site or something
>>29982299
Still man, you should never post your id to 4chins. Some people here are really big assholes. Also crop out the face on pictures you post of ladies unless you want to find a whole mess of fakes popping up on /b/.
>>29982320
Or someone devious enough might just post it to /b/ for the keks.
OP What pawn shop is this? You located near Austin?
>>29982320
Fair enough. Honestly I didn't even realize they were even in the pic and I'd've cropped it out if I'd realized though I'm not overly concerned desu. People can be dicks but I like to have faith in the people of /k/ for the most part, and like I said there's not a lot I can do
>>29982336
Yeah, it's one in the greater Austin area. I'm gonna go grab it tomorrow since it's weird. Lgs guy was wanting a look at it as well after I sent him the pics
>>29982348
Not him, but you're probably fine: /k/ is mostly above that. I stress the word mostly though.
>>29982365
Papalu got away with it.
Mostly.
>>29982299
You might as well start using your name as a trip. Kinda like Roger who posts from his Thinkpad Edge, you could be Dave posting from Texas.
Sooner or later, some anon will dispute that you are who you say you are. And the Chinkposters will flat out not believe you.
>>29982299
People on /k/ generally aren't the type to fuck with people for this kind of thing.
I've been here a while and I've seen two dozen + instances of people posting an unboxing thread with their info clearly displayed on the box.
Never heard anything come from it.
>>29982400
Now that's a name I haven't heard in a couple of years. What's he up to?
>>29982477
I dunno. He flat out vanished. An anon told me his dad was terminally ill or some such, and apparently that took the wind out of his sails. But I don't know if that's true. No way I can.
We'll always have the rape saw, though.
>>29982527
He's in NorCal somewhere?
