Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

Two orphans now that West Germany's Sig is bottom up.

I need to start an orphanage

Got this before our socialism trial, so been untouched for a few months.
1945 No5 Mk1 ROF LE Jungle Carbine.
I had to use some raw umber oil paint on the stock to get it the same colour as the rest, and one area that needs a touch just below the bolt, will do that one day... but otherwise came out ok.


And with the rest of the family...

One for the 270 haters. Been working on this a while. Sako 75, vxl 4.5-14x50, precision platforms stock and mab barrel. Cant wait for load development

Even the dog can’t look at it

That's because hes just dropped another place in the pecking order

That a nice looking set up. My son is quite interested in exactly that rifle/suppressor combo. ( if we can fine one at the mo) Have you shot it yet? How do you find the noise/recoil with suppressor. We would definitely reload for it and have a play with subsonic and cast lead.

Marlin 1895 Dark Series with a Bushnell Trophy XLT 3-9x40 and DPT mk2 suppressor. Additional Pachmayr Decelerator slip-on to increase length of pull, not just because I'm scared of it...
Calibre .45-70 Government.

Future changes will be a less practical but more pretty leather buttstock cuff with cheek riser, and I've now decided I want a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x using the cantilever mount backwards.

Not fired it yet. Will report when I get the chance. Planning to do my own cast lead subsonic thing as well.

@ebee @Solo

I would highly recommend getting a midwest hand guard for it - they are lighter, allow you to use Mlok attachments like QD points and allow you to use a standard bipod (if you try to use one on the standard hand guard it wobbles). I think it is also much nicer in the hand than the standard hand guard. 55six sells them though I think they are out of stock at the moment.

I also got rid of my iron sights as I run a VX6 1 -6 and at 1 power it is a both eyes open shooter. Ditching the irons allowed me to put the scope on with Steiner lightweight low rings and subsequently I think I will get away without using a cheek riser - you may find the same with your 1-8 Viper @Solo

I just need to get a QD drilled into the stock so I can use my magpul sling side on and I think I will get one of those Wild West Trigger Happy kits from Brownells now that the ITAR limit has been raised - they lower the trigger pull to a crisp 2.5lbs apparently.

My 3030 Dark below:

The handguard is probably also on my list, though a fairly low priority. $400 is a lot of money for a bipod mount when I could just move my sling swivel stud back an inch or two. I think I also (slightly, though looking at yours, that may be changing) prefer the aesthetics of the stock handguard.

@Solo totally get where you are coming from, at the end of the day lever guns are generally very traditional looking firearms and the Mlok hand guard is a very polarising look.

I think it looks fine with the Dark series rifles as they have that modern look to them already, I am not a fan of the Mlok hand guards on the more traditional looking rifles. I'll be getting a 1895SBL 45/70 as well eventually and I don't think I will be putting one of these hand guards on them as I think it will ruin the look of it.

Putting a scope on a lever ruins the look anyway, might aswell go the whole hog

Weird how these things work. I feel a scope looks great, but a red dot looks wrong.

Agreed
