Sweet! Even has a compass in the stock and a thing that tells time!

Sorry, but I had to steal the pic to show people what a fantastic steampunkish thing you have built - proper attribution was done. Truly excellent, sir.

Well done. The hours prove dedication. The results speak for themselves.
More details? More pics. Progress pics? |

That's absolutely gorgeous and amazing looking but how does it function, also does it hold up well after being fired?

Haven't shot it yet to see what falls off or loosens up. Since it weighs about 13 pounds the recoil will be dampened quite a bit. |

Its bad ass!!!!! It will only look better once the copper gets some patina on it

Hopefully you’ll keep us updated on how it ages and how it looks with a few years of age on the metal.

Round over the top forward edge of the 1911 slabs, that overhang looks like crap. Why can't you take any pride in your work?
Seriously, nice job, makes me want to roam the wastelands. |

One thought it Looks 2050 Sanford and Son
Lamont goes wasteland. Cool as can be. Great vision you saw to completion. Hand that to someone in low light/ dark that would know the form, for the most part and turn on the light. |

I'm thinking about moving to some distressed wood panels. Going to see if I like the wood ones better before hacking those pewter grips. Maybe I can resell the pewter ones. |

Did you machine out the serial number and manufacturers data?

Amazing. Your craftsmanship and attention to detail are top notch.
