THE CUTAWAY

Mr. Smith · #1 05-26-12, 13:43

I have had the opportunity to work with the greats in this world.
This gun is for one of the biggest names in this community he asked me to do it for him and it was one of the best things I have done in some time.
It will be a teaching tool for him for years to come and I got a lot out of it in the proses.

The gun started out life as a Daniel Defense carbine and I cut it all away.

I spent time on paper with this gun that cannot be counted the time on gun its self is epic.

I am not a man that likes to post a lot but I thought this was important for you all to see.

I would like to thank him for all the things he has done for me this is one of those things you just cannot put into words.

Thanks Brother

Magnificent. I wouldn't have even known what to expect from a project like this, but the work is absolutely first-rate, Joe.

Such a neat idea! That should be such a help, when teaching how malfunctions occur, and how to clear them.

As always, great looking work.

I can only imagine the amount of time in planning and then the hours of mill work.

Well done Joe.

I like the use of color

Joe, outstanding work as always. Cuts look very clean, and color on the components adds a nice effect.

Thanks guys
Some things you just cannot describe this is one of those things.

Very nicely done! How's it shoot?

Joe did this for me at my request as I thought it would be a very cool addition to my collection - you have to find the right person to do this kind of work as it takes alot of planning and requires everything to be thought out in a way that is functional and effective

Joe took the challenge and did a great job - to be honest it turned out better than either one of us expected; I actually learned a few things as did Joe and I thought we had this weapon figured out inside and out!!

Kudos to Joe for an outstanding effort and rising to the challenge - the results speak for themselves

Cheers

Wow, this is amazing. Great idea LAV, and you did a stellar job Joe.

Simply outstanding work! I'm impressed. My LGS did a cutaway and it doesn't even come close. Thanks for sharing

Mr. Smith · #15 05-26-12, 16:19

Thanks LAV

It was great to get the opportunity to do this for you and ultimately for those you teach.

At first I thought, "Holy shit, he did this to a Daniel Defense carbine? What, there was no Oly, Del-Ton, DPMS, Frankenbuild to sacrifice for the sake of education?" LOL Then I understood when Mr. Vickers chimed in. Great job, would love to see this in person.
