Gunsmithing Hall of Shame Thread

[hotrodder636]

Does anybody have the one from the Battlerifle guy? Said someone from some government dept wanted it bc it looked scary. I think it didn't have a hand guard of had a half hand guard or something. I can't seem to find it.

"The owner of Battle Rifle Company gave alternating explanations for their use of the wrong rail, from “people saying it looked cool” to unnamed federal agents wanting to use it because it “looked intimidating.”"

And more battle rifle company fail:

I love this one because after all these failures they still they bragged on Facebook about how great their rifle survived the 10k round test: https://www.facebook.com/AlienGearHo...20742521455735

Not gunsmithing per se but this thread reminds me of this M&P 15/22 I rescued from a pawn shop not too long ago. This photo was taken right after I got it home. Check out the custom handstop. Also the previous owner put this stupid metal sleeve over the end of the barrel. Have zero idea why......trying to mimic a can??? No clue. Gun has been great though after getting rid of the optic, a couple of other things, and fixing it up correctly.

3AE,

I do have a fair amount of trigger time with the AR and its accoutrement the pic rail attachment version of the front sight.... Apparently (& unbeknownst to me) it is a very multi use high speed low drag SHT multi Fan SEAL/Delta, Vickers, Falla, Obama shot Osama piece of kit!

Isn't that hand stop on backwards? Just kidding. I wonder if he wanted the barrel to look like the old CAR extended flash suppressor.

Actually if I hold my phone about 3 feet away from my face and squint that looks really really tactical.

A front sight post mounted upside down on the lower rail for a hand stop! What was he thinking?
