I saw this gun in an online auction. I've don't think I've ever seen a panel that big.

Someone inlet a lock and barrel into a 2x4 and figured that would do...a workman like manner to the extreme !

A good pilot could land a small plane on there.

Clearly a modern made gun with a Siler lock.

Rt5403 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 12, 2023, 04:38:12 AM »

Any other background or pictures of this gun?

Marcruger · « **Reply #14 on:** June 12, 2023, 02:16:36 PM »

Wow. A lot to trim off.

O boy! Here we go again! Wasn't there a post while back about why not more member didn't post pictures of there work? I brought this very thing up, bullying, and got a pm saying the mods won't let this happen. Right S R? Where are the moderators?

Pukka Bundook · « **Reply #16 on:** June 12, 2023, 04:23:31 PM »

Bullying?

That word is Way overused these stupid days.

Back in the 60s and 70s and even now, people would decide to build a gun without any reference material or prior knowledge about gun building, guns like the one above is what they turned out, they were happy with them and I am sure these guns served them well.

There are a lot of members on these boards that don't know how a gun should be shaped and chime in with "great job", "outstanding work" and such when one of the beginners posts his first build. By the way, my first build was truly awful, I had all the reference material and still left way too much wood on the stock.

A guy posted one the other day that was shaped as square as a 2X4 from end to end and got a lot of encouragement on how great his work was from the above mentioned guys. I kept my mouth shut.

I would agree with your statements, however as the OP stated he found this pic online. From his post it didn't infer that he was the builder.

So, that said, there would be no point in providing constructive criticism as the OP did not state he was buying or even considering buying.

Ergo....the "poke some fun" gremlins came out.

Meh.

Everyone will agree that this lock panel is ridiculously large. If a new builder sees this, our best hope is that they will at least consider our comments and pay attention to their own builds to avoid this phenomenon. So it is a credible and useful post.
