    Yes I did.Made the linkage, front trigger and trigger guard from scratch.I even fitted a bayonet on it but do not know where I put it.LOL It is loud and the linkage is so smooth it can be bumpfired when hip shooting.

    Well done. Having a bullpup with a decent trigger is golden. The ones I have feel like they break about 12+ pounds. When pistol braces are banned you may want to hurry up and put a patent on that design.

    Nothing that wild. I do have a Biathlon Basic, which is the only reason I spell 'Biathalon' correctly as 'Biathlon'. Being the Basic model it has none of the biathlon features except a straight pull bolt. All around a pretty nice shooting gun, a bit small and no real magazine or parts availability.

    Pics here: (not mine) That one is .22WMR

    AMT AutoMag III in 9mm Winchester MAGNUM (9x29mm), had 2 of them. One was the very last one to leave their warehouse that I ordered back when I was an FFL.

    Chinese Broomhandle. They loved it so much they made it themselves long after they could have moved to other less complicated pistols that they could have made several in the time it took to make one of these babies.KIMG0837.jpeg

    Not really that crazy but as a teen I had a Tek 22 with a faux suppressor. It was a really fun little pistol that took 10/22 mags. On occasion it would go full auto on me.

    Sadly I no longer have it but it looked like this one.

    I picked this up about a year and a half ago, always wanted one and finally tripped over a nice one. BSA 12/15 target rifle. The 4" dinger on the back of the pond @ 125 yards doesn't stand a chance! She's got the sweetest trigger pull you ever saw and she's just as happy with Remington bulk hollow points as the expensive match grade ammo.

    I had a Bolo Mauser but the slide-stop was bowed and the barrel was shot out and I never had the $$$ to make it a shooter. :wtc: Sucked because it was 100% numbers matching.

    About the most oddball thing I have now is an Encore barrel in 41 GNR #2 by Gary Reeder Custom which is a 445 Supermag cased necked down to .41 caliber and shoots a 210gr .41 bullet to 2200fps out of an 8" barrel and recoil is surprisingly mild. About like a 44 magnum loaded up to the original specifications of a 240gr bullet at 1500fps instead of the watered down factory loads at 1250fps. It's called the Mini Beast and mine has a 10" barrel.
    Cartridge brass in the pic are as follows: 44 Magnum, 445 Supermag, 41 GNR#2
