Sometimes, a man has to... oh, who am I kidding. I MADE A GUN OUT OF GARBAGE!!! I'm making the pipe gun in rifle form from Fallout 4 and the sad part is I haven't even built my new gaming rig to play the damn game yet! I'm using upright 1911 mags for a ".45 receiver" upgrade even though the in-game model makes no physical distinction between .38 or .45 receivers or magazines. So I left the original .38 magwell intact as a sort of legacy part and just plugged it up with a cover, but can be turned back into a more game accurate representation with the fake .38 mag put in its place.
First, I removed all the unnecessary bits. "But the mainspring housing, trigger and leaf spring are necessary." REMOVE ALL THE BITS!
Stuffing what's left in a wooden receiver. Split in 3 parts (left, right, top) because there's no other way to put the guts inside.
Pipe receiver and slide converted to work like a bolt carrier.
New hammer strut
Redesigned MSH with the leaf spring exposed. I could have covered it, but it looks so damn awesome this way.
Stock assembly. I wanted to do the pistol at first, but turned out to be impossible to wield.
Side magwell and some kind of metal... thing.
Barrel
Receiver plate
Sights. I had to make them taller as the one in the game had the same sights for pistol and rifle which are impossible to use in rifle form.
Magwell cover for when using .45 mags
Cosmetic .38 magazine for display purposes only.
Almost done rifle in .38 and .45 configurations. GI wire reinforcement will come after all the paint and weathering work.
And a test video from when I got all the internals working properly.
