My newest Model 10-6 (Not safe for SW purists)

Now my wife wants one to go with her Kalisnikitty T-shirts.

Let it dry a while, then assembly. I think the grips need a little more work.

The only bad thing about that is that now I can't do it because you already did. Curses!

There's still a Barney gun to be made.

 

[dbmjr1]

We're kicking around the idea of a 'Peeps' gun.

Somebody git a rope!!!

Maybe some fine steel wool just to take the shine to a satin.

Neat project.

That is a huge pile of AWESOME! Not where I would have taken it (those grips are the hid), but way cool. Keep up the good work (an accuracy report will be required).

That's awesome

Can't wait to see it totally finished, optic and all.

Oh, and Jack our gunsmith, brought in a tube of pink glitter. Prepare to be bedazzled.

Please no, not the glitter!

 

[il.bill]

Oh my! Kitty made me chuckle out loud.

 

[cc-hangfire]

Didn't know I could be tickled and horrified at the same time ... until now

 

[rodensouth]

I can tell by this project and your location that you are fun to be around!

Thanks for sharing the awesome. I can't wait to see it finished.

 

[Panzerschwein]

Awesome, the paint reminds me of the icing on cherry pop tarts, my favorite!!

Peeps? My friend called them "mushroom ducks" by accident one time. He meant to say "marshmallow chicks" LOL!! A Peeps gun would be awesome!

 

[MIL-DOT]

So I guess that's a "no", I can't have the ratty old grips ?

 

[dbmjr1]

You sir, win the interwebs for a day.

 

[SeanSw]

Stay the course. I like stupid cheap projects. Someone's little girl may really enjoy that some day.

While the paint scheme may not be my personal preference, to each their own. I do like seeing a pile of parts turned into a functional piece though.

 

[the Black Spot]

So does this mean you'll powder coat the bullets the same color? Or will you go with hot pink?
And someone has to make a matching holster....

 

[palmetto99]

Better than being sold for scrap. I guess.

 

[BCRider]

You KNOW that there's a special room in Hell for people that put HK stickers on classic guns, right? A very SPECIAL room.......


With multiple coats of color and top coat like this don't be shy about leaving it a long time. Or after a week bake all the parts in your toaster oven set down to as cool as it'll go. You want it well under the boiling point of water. Or makes an "oven" out of a cardboard box with table lamp inside that has a halogen bulb or that still uses a 60 watt incandescent bulb as a heat source. Keep the bulb/heat source down low and in one corner but obviously away from the cardboard. Hang the parts up near the top so they are well warmed but certainly not too hot to hold onto. Bake the week old "dry" finish over night to force the last of the solvents out of the films and harden the surfaces up. Once the pieces cool back down the finish should be as scratch resistant as it can get.

I don't have the right screws for the side plate.








I'll order a Micro Reflex sight tonight.

I want to wait a couple of weeks before I fire it anyways, to let the paint fully cure.

 

[CajunBass]

I think you should name it "Caitlin."

It just seems to fit.
