I don't have any pictures,,,
I don't have any pictures,,,
But I have made objects of art from dead firearms.
I had a S&W Pump 12 gauge that was dead,,,
A piece of the inner frame had snapped completely off.
I disabled the gun by welding the action shut,,,
Then I mounted it vertically on a base I made from driftwood.
I ran the electric cord through a hole I drilled through the butt of the stock,,,
I then mounted a lamp harp on the muzzle of the barrel,,,
It really made a great looking table lamp.
It was functional as well because I built a hidden drawer in the base,,,
I lined the drawer with green felt and made it big enough to hold my S&W 629,,,
I also made a spot in the drawer for speed ammunition, speed loaders, or a spare magazine.
The woman who purchased it from me (for $275.00 I might add),,,
Said this would be perfect in her husbands business office,,,
He's an attorney who hunts and shoots a lot.
I had an old dead RG snubbie,,,
I filled the action, cylinder, and barrel with epoxy,,,
Then I mounted it in a shadow box with a 45 RPM record of "Saturday Night Special".
I have made several standing floor lamps using old shotguns,,,
I can usually get anywhere from $200.00 to $300.00 apiece for them.
I have a standing request for old dead rifles and shotguns,,,
My Evil Pawn Shop Guy has come through for me on several occasions.
