View Full Version : Gunsmithing Hall of Shame Thread

12-24-14, 16:37
After recent rash of goobered-up muzzle devices, it was suggested that we have a thread of sub-standard "Professional Gunsmithing Services".
If you've got some good (bad) work done, show it here.
Gosh, How I wish I had the link to a gun auction IIRC of a "customized" Colt 1911 that a member here brought to our attention a year or so ago. My Lord, it was one of the worst examples of what not to do to any firearm let alone a Colt classic. It truly brought some of us to tears to see that abomination. That one could have taken 1st place in the "Hall of Shame". :fie:

I think this is it. The gunbroker page doesn't exist anymore, though.

I miss the days when I took ACs posts for granted.
Mr. Gunsmith. Can you help me remove my FSB? Thanks

Good god! What the hell did he use? A 9" grinder?!

IG, Please STOP! I take it all back. I don't wanna see no more butchering. At least not during the Holidays. I'm trying to maintain peace and goodwill towards my fellow man, but after seeing what I'm seeing, I'd be taking a 5 pound sledge to the offender's hands to insure they never pick up another tool. "The horror, the horror." :fie:
Eurodriver, Yes, I sure miss AC's presence here. Can only try to emulate his conduct on this forum and elsewhere. No easy task for sure.
Some people need to put the damn angle grinder down...
Put your tools down, stand up & back away from the firearm.
This thread is painful to watch.

This is awesome.
I've been looking for the pic of that Glock with the trigger guard removed, but I haven't been able to find it yet. It was on gunbroker, so it may be lost forever.

Why? Why would someone do that?
Let's try and make this less painful by posting pics directly if possible.
It would be best to remove attachments when quoting someone as well. Here is the revolver barrel porting specimen that atomic41 posted.

Not a hacked one, but definitely noteworthy. A friend of mine new to AR world other than buying them...bought one from a "gunsmith" builder. He called me asking why it wouldn't cycle. I told him to put one round in the mag and try a different BCG to try the last round hold open, etc to make sure it wasn't a gas key or whatever. Anyways. He brought it to me and I immediately noticed his problem. I pulled off the rail for the pics.

Outlander Systems, thank you for starting this thread. This stuff is very entertaining.

Steyrman13: I wonder if the guy (I will not call him a gunsmith; he doesn't rate) "finished" the job, and saw the gas block and the gas tube sitting there left over, and just sort of shrugged...? Or, he assembled all the parts and saw the gas port in the barrel and shrugged at that.
One of those two things had to happen. Fact.

Completely true. I thought about starting a thread on it but felt this fit here. The guy builds lots of these uppers for people....
The bad part is, the Magpul sights are knock offs, unknown barrel maker, and it already had marks from set screws of a gas block that had been mounted before....not sure what happened to it. Maybe it got blown off from the gas port that measures.....0.093 on a 10.5" barrel

It's pinned isn't it? The muzzle device that is. Because if it is I'm going to laugh even harder

I wish I could tell you it was but it is not. The rail which is duracoated, I think is a Midwest that uses a barrel nut like YHM lightweight rails was missing the screw at the bottom that helps keep the rails from twisting other than the jam nut on the back. The fake noveske PIG MD was torqued on pretty tight though as the crush washer was flattened almost.

I think steyrman's submission wins the internet for the next decade or so. the fail is so strong with that one, if it were a Jedi ability that "gunsmith" would be more powerful than the entire jedi alliance.

It was comical to me when I pulled it out of the case to inspect it after he gave it to me. It reminded me of slingblade. What's wrong with it Karl? Ain't got no gas in it mmhh...except ain't got no gas block/tube on it mmmhh
Hey, on the up side... should be NY compliant.
This thread is like watching a train wreck. I want to look away, but I can't. Some hilariously bad efforts on here.
Although not done by a gunsmith, who can forget this beautiful piece of work?

I have a feeling that Eugene is wishing he made this design a little less modular..... :laugh:
Wait a second- we had a guy here do this too- some of you might remember- a few years back a guy tried to change a carbine gas system to a midlength. Drilled new gas port, moved FSB, never filled original gas port.... It was here on M4C. Can't find the thread.

It also blew the top handguard off

Also, I couldn't care less what you guys say, I'm moving all my carbine hand guards forward to where I think they should be. Much more tactical.

My favorite quote from that thread is "You haven't FLUTED the barrel, you've put SLOTS into it. You have created STRESS RISERS, and some very SERIOUS ones at that. I judge the barrel to be extremely unsafe and likely to rupture. "

I've seen Pe-Pe-Shas that were built by Ivan Ivanovich in the basement of a bombed-out building in Stalingrad that exhibit a better level of workmanship than that displayed in this thread. And I thought all the angry beavers were manning Dremels at Century Arms...
This is a 10.5" upper that was sent to me because it wouldn't run. Luckily that shop in TX that did it is apparently out of business now.
1. Short-stroking due to incorrect placement of the block, and the gas block looked like some eBay special.
2. Jacked up barrel nut because he used the wrong tools. It was hidden by the rail.
3. Attempted to dimple an already dimpled barrel.
4. Installed the suppressor mount without Rocksett. Mount came loose with little effort.

I always wondered how people destroy some of the specialty barrel nuts (KAC URX). After seeing some of these, it must be the same "gunsmiths".
Here is the wonder that is my LMT 14.5 inch with a battle comp 1.5 installed. Ahh sure I do these kinds of pin and welds all the time he said.........

Now I honestly don't know what to do with it. It didn't look "so bad" painted but I knew and was to embarrassed so now it just sits on my shelf. I guess I may have it chopped by someone competent someday as I doubt I could have it removed and something else put on.

F***! Did he even offer to compensate you for that? Looks like he raped it with a bench grinder! Did he also drill all the way into the bore?
Nope. The bore is fine just welded all the way around and "ground" it down.
Un FU-king believable! At least you won't get much bitching from the ATF! That one would be tough to remove!

"that <insert gunsmith task> can be done by any competent gunsmith / machinist, there should be someone locally who can do that for you...".
I gladly pay experts a little extra to do it right the first time.

From Gunbroker via the FN Forums:
This listing is for FNH FS200 carbine. The gun comes in original box with accessories and manual. Original owner of the gun attempted to modify the frame to accept high capacity magazines such as Surefire OBJZ8 60 round mag (one included). Supposedly, the modification worked, but made the gun less reliable with standard FS mags. Upon inspection, the standard mag appears to be a bit loose. We have not shot the gun so could not confirm the claim. Outside of the modification, the gun appears in like new condition. The gun has a short 16” barrel including muzzle brake. The barrel is by Tornado Technologies LLC https://www.tornado-technologies.com/services.html. This is a great piece, especially if you are handy enough to make modification if needed.

The modification appears to be done by a real professional! :sarcastic:
That is just insanity right there to do that to a weapon. How someone could take that in and put it on Gunbroker is beyond me. For Gunbroker to accept it, is pure failure. Hopefully no one even bothers to bid on it. This one is definitely a top ten Hall of Shame winner!

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.

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?

It's called the "Minimalist/Multi-Use" approach. "M&M" for short. Can be used as listed:
1. Front Sight, either on a rail or gas block.
2. Used as a hand stop/barricade brace as pictured.
3. Mounted backwards on lower rail and you have an "Angled Foregrip" that predates Magpuls AG Series!

Don't know about that one, but I once saw an H&K USP that was left in a gas oven(The story I got was it was placed there to hide it and the owner forgot it), and was pretty well melted. They remembered it was in there when the round in the chamber cooked off. :fie:

A friend of mine did a pink tiger stripe Duracoat job on a G19 Gen 2 for a girl he was trying to impress. He detail stripped the gun and laid the paint on thick and in areas he shouldn't have. He called me up to help him put it back together. I would've taken a picture, but that thing was too ugly for this world.
As some of you know, Soldiers living in the barracks arent supposed to have firearms in their rooms. We had an unannounced room inspection so a guy panicked and hid two Glocks in his oven. Later this genius decides to cook some food and turned his oven on to pre-heat it, until his smoke alarm went off and he discovered 1k worth of firearms on fire in his oven,. I wish I had pics.

I remember when that ad first hit gunbroker, it was billed as a real "Operators's" gun because real operators don't need trigger guards and run with super light triggers or some such shit. Don't recall it word for word, but it was a total bullshit write up to make the gun sound like it belonged to some high speed Delta 6 Recon SEAL or some such. Also the safety on the trigger, and I think the firingpin safety were also removed, but again has been quite some time since it originally was posted. I saved the pic just as a reminder of what not to do to a glock. Personally I would hope the owner got over confident with a dremel tool and then after ****ing the pooch he posted it on gun broker while the pooch was in the bathroom with some soothing cream hoping he could sell it to some moron and buy himself something not ****ed up. Sadly, I honestly think the gun owner did the mods to it because he thought it was making it more tactical. :(

So, the question I've been wondering about is how do you react when your friend/neighbor/relative proudly shows their new gun to you and it looks like one of these on this forum? It's just like when you see someone's new baby and its one of the ugliest babies you've ever seen. That happened to us once. The kid was absolutely hideous looking. I said something like "Oh, look at him. He has your eyes". Fortunately the kid grew up normal looking, but unfortunately guns don't grow up. Just wondering...

Unless the work is unsafe or illegal, go shoot the gun. That's the only way to see if a modification is going to work or not. Much of the hideous work shown in this thread is cosmetic and no worse than a bad paint job that's not worth commenting on. But if the work is flawed, it will be revealed in the harsh light of shooting

31403 How to destroy good night sights on a perfectly good gun.
31403 How to destroy good night sights on a perfectly good gun.
This reminds me of a Range Officer who worked for the local county Sheriff's Department years ago. Night sights were a relatively new thing and he was installing them on service pistols. He could not figure out why a tritium sight with a life expectancy of 10 years would fail in less than 6 months. He told me he was working with the sight company on getting replacements for over 20 service pistols.
I told him I had sights on my 4516-1 that were installed more than 2 years earlier, they were still working and he could not believe it. I asked how he was installing the sights and he told me with a brass punch and hammer. I cringed when I heard this. From that point forward, when someone asks to borrow my sight tool in his presence I hand them a hatchet.
It wasn't too bad. Remove roll pins in the frame and it separated. Wasn't sure if it would work or not, needless to say, I had never had to do that before. But I went out onto the floor with a blow torch and said "Hey bro, don't worry, I got this." while I lit the blowtorch. The look on his face was pretty priceless.
I think I may have just hurt myself laughing at the blowtorch bit! ;)

The real sad part is that going by the LPK that I pulled out of the thing, and the trigger guard that was junked, they didn't disassemble it before jacking it up.
Damn, not even a DPMS lower deserves to be tortured like that! Condolences sent.
Wow, those loaded chamber indicators sure are getting out of hand!

How about this gem that was brought into my shop to be fixed? Not exactly gunsmithing, but it seems like the proper thread for this.

I wish I would've taken a picture of the guy who bought a low pro gas block and a mid length gas tube for his carbine barrel. He literally hammered the gas tube into the gas key and got it stuck. He couldn't figure out why it wouldn't go in right so he just started hammering the gas block. Up until that point I had never actually been able to use this phrase but I said to him "you literally beat the black off this thing"
This is why you stake the castle nut instead of using Lock-tite. Here's looking @ you Rock River! Tube had already been twisted/threads crushed by the customer before he brought it to me:

So I have an 11.5" 300 Blackout barrel with a carbine gas system that won't work. You don't say? So yeah, what do we do. Well I would advise that you open the gas port from .125 up to .188. That will make it run for sure. Sounds good!

Lol. Still not as bad as one manufacturer who I won't name, but they were referenced in a previous post by me, who for one of their rifles had one of the features being the name of the company laser engraved on lower. And for used guns, the second rule is know what you are buying. Don't believe me go to a gun show and see the complete bullshit that gets spewed, but we already have a thread about gun store bullshit.
And here are some more pics for the thread for your enjoyment.

I don't think it counts as gunsmithing if you replace a junk part with what should have been used in the first place.
On a side note. That rifle looks really clean, doesn't look like it had been run much. And here I keep hearing that the plastic lowers are milspec or stronger than milspec :rolleyes:

most of the polymer lowers I see break are those that look like mil spec
the one I have ( not used ) has extra thickness around the important areas so they look beefier
of course I have an old bushmaster carbon 15 for like 10 years now it has no problems upper and lower is some sort of polymer and looks like a mil spec lower

Omni.
I have never seen these pictures before. Man, I feel a lot better about the mistakes I have over the years. Cause they were nothing like this stuff. Holy crap!
I've worked on an Omni before. Went to drive the FSP pins out to put a low pro gas block on and the pins came out...in four pieces. Both pins were broken in half.

Omni.
Back when I didn't know anything about guns I purchased a Bushmaster Carbon 15. Well, after about 1,000 rounds the threaded loop on the lower receiver cracked in half because the bolt carrier and buffer were, for some ****ing reason, designed MUCH shorter than virtually every other bolt carrier and buffer out there:
http://i.imgur.com/8sx6dJQh.jpg
Well, there was nothing stopping the bolt carrier from bottom out on the buffer tube, which caused it to bulge out and crack the polymer lower receiver.
After some bad customer service from Bushmaster I purchased a Rock River Arms lower receiver and used that with the Carbon15 upper for a while.
I ended up piecing together a better upper and my gun building craze started. While this was happening, my torn apart Carbon15 was collecting dust in the closet. I ended up buying an ATi Omni, another big ****ing mistake.
It came in with a ****ing hole in the magazine well.
http://i.imgur.com/rx5ZqVoh.jpg
I emailed ATi about this and this is the reply I got:

there are different lengths bolt carriers
some are full auto spec, and I think there are 2 other types
are you saying yours was the shorter one on the left
and somehow being shorter made it slam back further?
because I have a old carbon 15 with full length bolt carrier and thousands of rounds through it with no problems

I guess that's not a good picture. Both bolt carriers have buffers behind them. The one on the right is actually shorter. If you look closely you'll see that the bolt carrier is MUCH shorter than the BCM BCG on the left.

I dont understand what your saying now
the one on the right, is the buffer jammed into the bolt carrier?
now that shouldnt happen unless the buffer was some china clone that was made wrong
but the actual length between your 2 bolt carriers shown, like I was saying im pretty sure ive seen 3 lengths of those online
let me look
Chunky_Lover
04-04-15, 11:43
ok this is what I remember
they are same overall length
but its the inside that can be cut differently to trip the full auto sear
http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o56/mikegigabyte/ar15carriers.jpg
so I would think that one on your right is way longer
could that be for those fixed stock ar's
I would try to find out what that is made for, unless it was a mistake from the factory
and if you could just chop off the extra?
Of course bolt carriers are pretty cheap to buy a new one, but maybe you could have your damage repaired for free if it was the wrong length sent
I forgot was your rifle built or bought
I bought my carbon 15 new and the bolt carrier is the same length as all my other brands

AR15s with a fixed stock use the same bolt carrier group.

I've been looking, never seen a bolt carrier that short, with that style buffer, with a slightly shorter buffer tube.
and if you could just chop off the extra?
It's too short, not too long.
Of course bolt carriers are pretty cheap to buy a new one, but maybe you could have your damage repaired for free if it was the wrong length sent
I emailed them and their reply was a link to their rifles page saying that if I'm not satisfied with their Carbon15 I can purchase a different Bushmaster.
I forgot was your rifle built or bought
Bought new from a gun shop.
I bought my carbon 15 new and the bolt carrier is the same length as all my other brands
This is an older model. The Carbon15 used to be made by Professional Ordnance. This model fell in right after Bushmaster took over Professional Ordnance, but before they redesigned the Carbon15.
Chunky_Lover
04-04-15, 12:41
oh I see the photo is changed again, and your buffer tube is different too
yeah I have no idea what that is now
I thought the pic I saw before was solid, now I see it can come apart
well if it was bought that way, contact the manufacture
maybe it would be under warranty
I know they had those carbon pistols that had a really short buffer tube, or no tube cant remember
I wonder if that was used in those
then they added that extension for the rifle?
this was a great read, please keep them comming
Don't know anything about the Carbon15, but my Noveske Diplomat pistol has a similar BCG and short buffer tube.

"You're" not "your"
What a dipshit...
It isn't AR related but the gunsmith should be shamed publicly:
I had a High Standard target pistol that was very old. I ordered all new springs for it from the factory. After getting several recommendations from both locals and people on the Internet, I sent it off to a particular person. Six weeks later the gun came back. When I tried stripping the gun to see the job he had done, the takedown plunger would not depress. Then I noticed that the actual barrel/slide assembly wasn't engaged in the detent. The "Smith" lost the retaining pin which keeps the barrel/slide assembly in place. He had replaced it with a close-but-not-close-enough sized hex key.
When I confronted him about it, he acknowledged that he lost the pin. When I asked why he didn't just say so, he hung up on me.
Given that the barrel was not secured to the frame properly, I shudder to think what might've happened had I tried firing it.
This story is one of the reasons why though I don't believe in God, I really hope there's a hell.

A front sight post mounted upside down on the lower rail for a hand stop! What was he thinking?
A spare part left over to save himself $30. Most of these make gunsmiths like me look bad. Good smiths swap parts and remove the pinned flash not chop the gas block. Looking back at the removed bayonet lug I would have swapped it out with a post ban sight for $5 if I got to keep the old post otherwise I would have added the charge of the sight with shipping and handling included.

grinds the FSB and the rail isn't even free floating.
Yeah, but it's no longer obscuring his view when he looks into that incredible piece of glass that will shit the bed during his BZO....lol.
From the pictures the owner also used a bench grinder, not my tool of choice for doing that chore. Although from the final photo it doesn't look that bad - of course you can't tell how well the aluma-black matched up. In terms of the scope, maybe that is all his budget will afford at this time, looks like he's got a couple of little critters running around, in my book they come first.
Sorry guys, I know the point of the thread isn't me preaching, but sometimes we tend to look down our noses at people. When we were racing I kind of shrugged my shoulders at the guys who had the great equipment but lived in a house that looked like it might come down around their heads. Priorities.

My comment was definitely made as a joke, not bashing the person or his families well-being.
That's crazy why not just get another gas block one with a rail on it instead of grinding done the FS some people!!

Grinding down an FSB doesn't even qualify as an "Honorable Mention" in this thread. If I needed my FSB gone, I'd grind it off without hesitation. I wouldn't put a railed gas block on any of my rifles. They are heavier than need be.
Cheap optics, on the other hand....

Nothing wrong with a good fsb shave to clear a rail. I prefer this to aftermarket gas blocks that aren't pinned.

At first sight I thought it must have been a KB. Wow, the sob used a 3lb hammer on it. WTF?!

Someone like that, I feel sorry for. If a "Professional" did that....

Since I actually read that post, the 'F' was he was intentionally destroying an out of spec upper with a hammer...not really what this post is about.

Well I guess that makes a little more since then. But still one has to spend the time and energy on that. Just toss / recycle and move along.
That's the one, GTF425.

Damn! No sights either, they're also a wast of weight apparently!

I keep looking at that pic. What kind of ****tard would grind off the trigger guard? My guess is that he was calling the Glock custom too!

If you think that picture is ****ed up you should have read the ad for it when it was on gun broker. Dear christ it was a special one. All safeties removed, only for real operatarders bullshit. The real kicker is I want to say it had one hell of a mark up.

I'm sure.... He should of just sent it back to Glock to have it restocked. It's crazy what people do to guns.....

Glock in particular it seems. Still personally trying to figure out the whole reason behind people wanting to polish the slides and barrels to mirror finish and porting them. I mean like three or four .22 cal sized holes bored right through the top of the bastards. Saw one guy with a 27 like that. Stippled by Bubba and Drunks gun works at your local home garage, polished, ported with a 23 barrel in by the way(For that extra killing power don't you know), and with fiber optic sights and billed at the ultimate carry piece. :suicide:
I think it was modeled after one some fudd writer had in a gun rag I recall seeing. I would have saved pictures but I refused to have that abomination on my computer.

Glock's are fine just the way they are. I really don't understand why people feel it appropriate to muck them up....

Me ****ing neither. Jesus. "Hey you should let me do a trigger job on your glock like I did on this one, trigger feels great but sometimes it doesn't reset after I fire... still trying to figure that out."
