Overdue for posting some of the guns I've been working on. I bought a bunch of guns and went on a bit of a tear. I did a half a dozen guns and I think I have it out of my system now. It was fun, but I'm going to move on to other prop/costume stuf.
I'll post more pics of the rest of the guns soon (including one I don't think anyone has modded yet!), but for now, here's one I'd been wanting to make for a long time:
It was inspired (ripped off?) from a well-known Longshot that a person called meandmuch did. You can find pics of it pretty easily with a google search. I liked it so much I had to make one.
Basically a Longshot with recon barrel, which is then extended. (I actually made a second one that looks even better because I used meandmuch's idea of replacing the bipod with a real machine gun bipod, but I haven't taken photos of it yet. I will soon).
The barrel is a screw on piece of galvanized pipe with a pvc tip, and has to be removed before the gun can be fired.
Funny thing is, as soon as I was finishing the gun (a couple of weeks ago) I logged on here and saw that JohnsonArms had just done basically the exact same gun. Great minds think alike I guess.
Paint was duplicolor automotive black primer, plus Rustoleum Desert Tan camo (I think) and then some black wash weathering, pewter rub n' buff weathering, then some special modeling dust in dark rust color mixed with earth brown (I think) and then clear coated.
Oh, I also like the way it looks with the butt stock moved in closer:
