BuffetDestroyer 969 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) The swiss cheese picture on the top is a great design for extreme ventilation and weight reduction!!!!

ClickClickD'oh 1 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Why are there two pistol grip nut holes? Why? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KINGFISH 0 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 What did you do to cover up all that mess and refill those holes?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I am guessing the rear pistol grip hole was cut first, then the trigger guard was attached in those two rear most holes in front of the trigger guard hole. Then he realized with the grip that far back, he couldn't reach the trigger. So then he cut another pistol grip hole further forward and drilled more forward holes for the trigger guard. I am not sure why there are six holes cut for the guard though........... Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ClickClickD'oh 1 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I'm guessing the six holes were for attempting to mount a normal AK style tirgger guard/mag latch.. and missed once or twice. Measurements... they serve a purpose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waltham_41 52 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Holy sheep shit batman! That is why I would not try and do mine. I can do a lot of things well, but there are things that I have my doubts about and I will not ruin a perfectly good weapon trying to learn. Hats off to you Tony for taking a train wreck and salvaging it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oldandslow 3 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Wait a second... Think about it a minute. Tony has a two year back log. So... I f**k up my gun and send pictures to Tony. He fells sorry for me, or he wants to show how bad it gets. In the mean time he accepts my gun to make an example of me. And then upgrades it ahead of the other "suckers". Wooo Woooo. Am I stupid.

reoiv 1 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Looks like he tried to reuse the old trigger hole for a PG nut hole and then realized that won't work. And had to adjust everything forward because of it. And I thought mine was rough with an exposed hex nut holding the trigger guard in place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Drunk monkey with a hammer? Holy shit, Tony! You FIXED that ??????? :eek: ...or maybe I should say RESURRECTED. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not just no, but HELL NO Not even to a Daisy BB gun. If the person that did that is here, I feel sorry for them. Really do. But they deserve all of the ragging on they get. Know your limitations! Would be intresting to know what Tony hit him for to fix it back to usable starting condition. Tony? Edited May 13, 2008 by waltham_41 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macbeau 902 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I the words of the all- knowing Rocket J. Squirrel - "Hokey Smokes, Bullwinkle!" Looks like someone told him he should add compensator holes but forgot to tell him that they go on the muzzle-end rather than the receiver-end... That - or he had a new set of drill bits and said "eh? - if I screw up, Tony can fix it..." Nice work by the way... Macbeau sends... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 There was no additional charge to fix that. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waltham_41 52 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 You are a more generous man than me Tony, there would have been a fee to fix that up. Hats off to ya Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where's my damned pom-poms and poodle skirt when (apparently) I don't need them !!!! I, for one, would like to see a before/after set of pics on this one !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
