Official Custom Gun Pic Thread (show your work)

[geronimojoe85]

That's right boys and girls, I want to see your custom work. The bigger the better. I view firearms as one of the most personal things one can own, modify it and make it your own and it's something really special. Just make sure you show your work.

This beauty started it's life as a plain Jane S&W model 58. It has a new barrel and cylinder in 45 acp, the frame has been modified to accept K-frame round butt grips, the trigger serrations removed, action job, and wide hammer.

I'll get some better pictures soon, but you get the point.
So, post em up folks. Handguns, rifles, shotguns, let's see them.
And remember what our math teachers always said and show your work! Tell us what you did or had done.

Just started with a little bit for now but going to research some more and see what else I can do with my G30.....

Now that's what I'm talking about!
Good photography too!

Here is a 10/22 I just did. Reworked the stock, glass bedded and a new barrel with other upgrades. If a mall ninja could bring himself to use a .22lr this is what he would use.

 

[youngda9]

What's the cutout in the bottom of that stock for?

 

[Mat250]

It's called a butt hook. You put your off hand there for support. I use the space between my thumb and index finger pointed toward myself to hold the stock steady. It actually feels quite natural while shooting.

 

[Drakkule]

Well this is my 10/22 the only thing that is Ruger is most of the action, and the magazine. E.R. Shaw barrel that i had threaded at work, Arch Angle stock, had to machine the bi-pod to fit the stock. Nothing crazy, but i like it.

 

[42769vette]

this started life out as a model 70 25wssm. now its a 358 bfg deer gun. it has a swarovski z5 on it and the load im hunting with shoots just over 1 inch @ 150 yds.

 

[NickJ]

-Mounted 2 picatinny rails to the forend for accessories
-Replaced the plastic trigger with a CNC'ed aluminium one
-Installed a recoil buffer (reduces recoil 30%)

Ruger SR9:
-Polished Internals!
-Intalled a Ghost Ultimate 3.5 pound trigger bar

My custom (Shiney) Ruger SP-101

Specs:

• Ruger SP-101 .357 Magnum 3" Barrel
• IBOK Trigger Job (Under 5lb in DA and 2.5lb in SA)
• Mepro Night Sight
• Complete pistol dehorn and shine job
• Ugly lawyer warning roll-mark removed from barrel (Gives it a more classic look)
• Hogue Grips

So what all is involved in doing a complete pistol dehorn and shine job? I have a GP100 that would look great like that.

 

[geronimojoe85]

Some fine looking guns guys.

 

[GunSlinger]

The only custom work I've done so far is a new set of grips I made for my RIA 1911 A1. Made them from a 8" dia. branch from a Redbud tree in our back yard.

I thought you would never ask! Below is all stuff for converting Mosins. The first 2 pictures are of the same rifle with the scope mount I made that can be mounted as a regular scope mount or a scout mount. The five Mosins pictured don't look exactly the same now, they are all a work in progress as I come up with new ideas. Flash hiders, bolt handles and steel scope mounts now have a black oxide finish.

 

[geronimojoe85]

Wow, them are some tricked out mosins. Those pistol grips look neat too.

Thanks...they are a work in progress, but I have to admit I am running out of ideas. Not much more I can do with the barreled receivers. So I have a couple of ideas for the stocks.
They all have been shot a couple of times this year, needed to try out my work.

 

[drillsgt]

Here's a few that I have done:

 

[lon]

My custom (Shiney) Ruger SP-101

Nice...I want one.

What kind of speed loader is that?

 

[451_Detonics]

Well you have this...started as a unfit Caspian frame and slide...I did all the work myself...in 38 Super...and as you can see it shoots quite well...

This I didn't do nearly as much fitting on...Glock 18

Old school M1 Carbine Sporter. Did this using 60's era parts...

Mauser 98 Sporter shortened the barrel, did scope mounts, bolt handle, stock

My lightweight AR build...Cav Arms lower mostly Colt upper

My 10/22 that used a single Ruger part in the build...the stock screw!

Last one I didn't build but it is a favorite custom to shoot...my Glenn S&W 686
