Another Completed Rifle - Victory Pistol Carbine (Brian's) April 06, 2011 10:09PM |
|
I'll start here. A pic from last night late. Before the last coat of Oil.
The Victory 32 Pistol Carbine with outrigger buttstock.
A very fine rig. I have a ton of pics. I'll process some more. Just wanted to post a taste - announcing that it's complete! All tuned too, but I don't have the final numbers yet. Internal tweaked, not yet documented.
More coming!
Hope you like it.
Gary

Another group of pictures.
Note that the outrigger boom is stainless steel tubing, and holds 40 buckshot ball. I made an O ring secured cap, that works very smoothly to access.
The fluted bolt knob has a red/green indicator as to bolt position.
The quick loosening of the outrigger machine screws, allows the gun to become two short units ... and easily fit into a small case. Assembled, it has the feel of a nice rifle. The buttstock is offset, and ground with compound curves to make it set well against the face, and give access to the bolt.
Enjoy,
Gary

That I do like
. What made you choose mahogany? I particularly like the carving. I would guess it makes for an excellent grip. I once had a high quality European rifle that had a pistol grip shaped like a birds head with fishscale type carving. It wasnt just cosmetic but practical as well. It looks very nice indeed. I have only seen mahogany used before on Phillipino guns.

Gary,
Careful with those neat accessories, people won't notice the gun.
Brian, nice choice!

Awesome Gary!
I've been watching this rifle come together thinking, "Did I order mine with the butt stock?" I finally checked. I didn't.
Sad, but not the end of the world right? Now you reveal the hidden ammo compartment!!
Now, I don't know where you are in my Victory build, but feel free to add a carbine stock, convert it .308, or whatever magic your brain desires, because I know that your imagination will fashion exactly what I need. Because I want one of each!!!

Hello Scott,
I've been thinking of a nice 50 cal. belt feed .... yours might be a good time to spring that?
Oh, I'll figure out something that you may be able to use. Heck ... if you don't like it, you can always run a cord up the barrel and put a lamp shade on top! ... hahahah.
Glad you like this one. It did turn out pretty nice. I have to get it to the range. Better wait until daylight though ... ;?)

Gary,
50 cal belt feed...
If your gonna make a lamp, you should just carve up a nice looking leg!

Ya know Scott ...
Jerry has been trying to get me to do a version of that, for years now! Another customer had a unique take of a member of Lewis and Clark's party too ...
There just might be a market for this. Ya see ... we talk these things out ... and great ideas emerge ...
