My most recently "completed" build

built this guy for myself. I custom built the trigger, trigger guard, receiver and stock.
Brass accents because I'm kind of a sucker for Steampunk.

This scope would probably go with that pretty well imo.

Oh, It's beautiful!! Now I might just have to... even the reticle is amazing!
Saf3tyB3ar@reddit
Definitely post again if you go with it!
Radiant-Housing-1011@reddit (OP)
Will do!

Beauty. 5.56?

7.62x39

Oh neat. I wish it was still as cheap as it used to be. Done many mag dumps on my dad's dime as a kid. Now as an adult I shoot 5.56

Was wondering what I was looking at then realized what sub I was in. Cool stuff, I dig it. Looks great

Thank you 😊

This thing looks like the wood stock version of the carbine from MENACE.
Radiant-Housing-1011@reddit (OP)
I'm not familiar with that.. is it a game, or a movie/show?
CPaille94@reddit
Its a newer video game. Think turn based strategy helldivers.

Truck guns are out. I'm gonna make me a blimp gun too🤝
MakeGovtObsolete@reddit
Zeppelin Guns were a real thing. This gun actually looks pretty similar.
AyeBraine@reddit
Damn it really does look like one!

Looks like something out of fallout

Screams fallout combat rifle

I can totally see that! It would probably get a mildly upset rant from Zach Hazard too. 😅

Absolutely love this set up

Thank you.

I love wood on ar style pews. Gonna finish my gunstock duplicator and make me some wood m16a2 style furniture for it. Thinking of a bolt action 350 legend.
Radiant-Housing-1011@reddit (OP)
That sounds awesome! If I had the room for one, a gunstock duplicator sounds like a fun bit of equipment to build!
CultureThis9818@reddit
Yeah I'm making it outta some old 3d printer parts I'm not using. Just gotta source some parts and wood and put it together lol.
MurgleMcGurgle@reddit
When are you?
Radiant-Housing-1011@reddit (OP)
Ummm... 1896? I'm not sure of the context of the question.

MAS49 at home?
Radiant-Housing-1011@reddit (OP)
I mean, the MAS49 is a pretty good-looking rifle.
DrippyInks@reddit
This thing is gorgeous
Radiant-Housing-1011@reddit (OP)
Thank you

now that's a pretty gun. I love 7.62x39. Is it an AR with a weird buffer tube, or just an AR-lookin' thing? nice build.
Radiant-Housing-1011@reddit (OP)
It's an ARAK-21 upper the lower is "AR inspired". Gas piston operation, no buffer tube required.
PhilosophyEnough1866@reddit
that's super cool. does it take AR mags, or do the magazines just look pretty similar?
Radiant-Housing-1011@reddit (OP)
Yep. Ar mags.
PhilosophyEnough1866@reddit
nice.
centurion762@reddit
Awesome! I’m building something similar. What paint did you use for the brass accents?
Radiant-Housing-1011@reddit (OP)
I can't remember the brand off the top of my head, but it was just off the shelf rattle can from ACE.. the trigger guard and the magazine release button are actual brass.
centurion762@reddit
Cool. Looks like a Jakobs rifle from Borderlands. Appreciate it.
