We built a batch of these back in the late 80's early 90's and then they kinda faded out. The guns we were building were legally still rifles, since we started with rifle actions. It is not allowed to cut a rifle down shorter than a 16" bbl. I always wanted to take one out during our elk season which did not allow handgun hunting. I'm betting you would end up in front of a judge showing how this thing was legally still a rifle! We put them together so they still met the 16" barrel requirement and the 26" OAL. I'll try to get some pics posted this weekend. These were almost all rear grip conversions. This kept weight forward to control muzzle flip, and allowed for a magazine. We built many for the guys hunting in tough country where a lot of the time they required the use of both hands to make any forward/uphill progress. Another popular use was in Alaska where bush pilots carried them in case they went down. We built them in just about any caliber a guy asked for, including one 458 Win. Mag. Tried to talk that guy into the American (shorter case) but he wanted to use the same ammo in his rifle too. We did a lot of .308, .270, 30-06 and .243's. All shot extremely well, but the 458 was past my comfort level as far as recoil goes.

This was the first one I built back in about 1980 or 81. It was on a Rem. XP with a bunch of mods. i opened it up for a magazine, converted it to a claw extractor, side swing safety, muzzle brakes, sights and fitted case. This one was a 308.




This one is in 7mm-08 and was built as a donation to the RMEF years ago. I did the metalwork and Jim Davis, in Alaska, did the stock work and the fitted case. The stock is Claro with zebrawood trim.




This one is in 30-06 and shows our preferred method of shooting these things. This one built on a 98 Mauser.




This last one is a wildcat...6.5x47 imp on a Remington action.

This is my Encore with a 6.5-284 from MGM. It has a Burris 3x12 B-Plex scope. This thing is easy to load for and shoots great.

Mine was "just" a savage striker, 14", cm, no brake, in 708... my friends called it the "lando" as in lando calrisian from starwars, as he carried a huge pistol..

5# before scope, it was bascially impossible to shoot off hand, but with a rest was scary accurate...

great fun gun, but too heavy and the trigger, since improved by savage, sucked

Ernie:
I was hoping you were going to post pics of your toys......SHOW OFF!!!!

I still can't talk myself into putting a rifle scope on my barrels, I'm afraid it will bite me for sure. I may try one on the 223 to start with.

I can see now why revolver shooters talk so much about the single shot shooters.
I can see where their argument centers when it come to tradtional handguns.
