Couple of guns I've worked on the last few days complete with crappy pics

[KKing]

I've been busy the last few days. This shotgun is a H&R pardner pump I picked up back around Black Friday for $162 shipped from Buds. Solid shotgun, basically a 870 clone with a heavier steel receiver. I enjoy pistol grips on anything I shoot offhand so I went to work. Put in a mesa tactical AR stock adapter for an 870, cut the beavertail off of a B5 grip to use, and put on a MOE stock. Changed the handguard out for a CAA unit so I could run a afg and hand stop on the side rail for my thumb. I like it 10 times better now, and it handles a lot better.


Second is a Saiga in 223 I bought from a member here, R1100R. I knew exactly what was in store for this gun before I even got it home. I spent last night painting and baking it as well as doing the conversion. Paint is Aervoe coyote. I think a little before and after is in order (credit to R1100R for the before photo)

After:



Again, sorry for the crappy pictures. Sadly, one of my hobbies is not photography

I like the look of the AK.  How did you get it to stand up like that?

Just put the magazine down in the grout seam

I'm glad you got that rifle. Looks 10 times better than I had imagined it.

Great job , very nice.

Thanks gents, I'm really excited to get the Saiga out now. I almost had it cerakoted by Amendment 2, but he expressed how much of a pain it was to degrease one good enough to cerakote, and I figured paint was just more in line with the "AK" history. If it gets beat up, it's an AK. Edited March 24, 2015 by KKing

Nice work! Where did you get the aervoe paint?

That Saiga Looks awesome!

Unfortunately I had to have it shipped. I have no complaints about DSG arms, but paying $12 to ship to rattle cans is rough.

Nice job, they both look great!

The more I look at the saiga and those pictures I realize it's a lot lighter in person than those pictures show. I'm taking it out to the farm to run a few rounds this evening and I'll try to get a daylight picture

Little better representation
