I suppose this could be the work of Bubba The Home Gun Smith.
But this work is a little too rudimentary, even for Bubba.
The assault rake on the bolt gun is not one of the hallmarks of his work.
Back in the days when I hung out with Rotten Rod and Baloney Bob we were all in Rob's garage tearing down Rob's Cobra kit car. Or - they were, I just drank beer and watched. I work with wood, not metal. In any event, the boys hit a snag and crawled out from under the car, cursing and swearing. "Dammit - we need a gear puller that *&%$#@," Rob griped. The stores were all closed so the boys figured they were done.
But Rob had a beautiful shop with enough power tools to do anything under the sun. "Boys," I slurred around my beer, "ya got all the tools - nigger riggin' a gear puller should be a piece of piss! BEEEELCH!!!" I had seen my dad do it back when I was a boy.
And that's when Bob slapped me up the head! Rob came around and got right in my face! "That'll be enough of casual racism like that in our shop, Filthie! We don't 'nigger-rig' things around here, do we Bob?"
"Nope," Baloney Bob belched, "We 'African-American Engineer them..."
