Who Hunts with a Custom Pump Gun? - 01/25/10
The Ben-Wah fambly pics on the deer hunting thread reminded me I got a pawnshop 760 Gamemaster '06 from the '50s or '60s gathering dust. Type with the slim grooved fore end.
If any of y'all have done a low end custom with a 760 or 7600 I'd like to see the path you took. Know several of you were threatening to do so in a thread last year about a Hillbilly Custom job.
During my brief sojourn outside of law enforcement, I actually kept it in my truck along with several mags for a defense rifle that would actually penetrate auto bodies, but have still yet to show it to a whitetail or other critter.
Have thought about giving it the Benoit treatment for several years.
Anyways, it's missing the rear sight, the toe of the stock was broken off, so I had it trimmed back and somebody's throwaway soft trap recoil pad screwed on and a Weaver rail with nothing on it.
Wanting a hell for tough handy killing machine that I ain't worried about getting nicked or scratched too much.
Off this week, may take it to my deputy/machinist buddy and have him cut and crown the barrel at 20 or less to start...maybe put on a flash hider so I can set it muzzle down on the floorboards.
I'm open to just about anything on the cheap side from Krylon and camo synthetic to nice walnut with a matte finish.
I may replace the rear sight and I may not. Scopewise I got a Weaver K3 Post on my Frontier .358 right now that would look era appropriate, or may just go Terminator and put an Aimpoint CompM2 on it.
Talk to me. Show me some pics.
