The rules are simple: post a picture of a gun that contains NO plastic whatsoever (polymer, rubber, composite, fiberglass, etc.). Alloy, wood, bone, leather, and so forth is OK… but But no plastic. (The only exceptions are adhesives, paints/coatings, and slings/scopes.)
This was a lot harder than I thought. None of my rifles or sticker pistols are even close to qualifying. Even old all steel pistols, you’d think are OK have polymer magazine followers and/or fiber optic sights. The ONLY gun I have that qualifies is a Les Baer Stinger 1911 (commander slide on officer frame) because Tripp officer mags are all steel. Attached File |

Rubber recoil pads and white line stock spacers count?
Ive got a few or could swap some grips or sights etc around and have a couple more Ruger 44 carbine, a Ruger Mk II, 1858 revolver, Mossy 44 (only cause the safe/fire indicator pins are awol) If recoil pads etc are OK I can add a few shotguns |

Close, but damn stock magazine baseplates.
(stock photo) Attached File I'm disqualified anyway because I'm a heathen and put Magpul grips on it. And the 10-rd Wilsons have plastic baseplates as well. Attached File |

Sig P938 with an aluminum replacement main spring seat, and aluminum textured grip panels.

View Quote No buffer bumper or magazine followers? Bold Strategy. Also that buttplate looks suspiciously polymer |

View Quote Nope... even ignoring the CMORE, CZs have polymer followers in the mag and that shadow 2 has fiber optic front sight (actually acrylic) |

I have a bunch of pre lock S&W revolvers that are only iron and wood. Mostly K frames. No plastic on them other than the rubber grips on my old model 66 duty gun.

I forgot that last one has a plastic ramrod. It's been replaced since that picture was taken.

View Quote Is that a Chen magwell on an officer frame? Who did it? If so, I really want to have one added to the 1911 I posted in the OP for a long time. The only thing holding me back is I don’t want to refinish my gun. I really love the way that mediocre thin Les Baer bluing shows wear… but then I don’t want actually pay good money for a gun to be refinished with mediocre bluing |

I believe they cut the frame and weld it on? This was a pawn shop find, so I don’t know who added the magwell. EGW did some of the work. |
