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.

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.

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.

That is a hard one.

I was going to post my MAC, but turns out it has a rubber recoil buffer.

So my only 100% metal is the DoubleTap 9mm Derringer.

I would say no especially to recoil parts; they are functional components usually pretty integral to the firearms longevity/design.

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

No buffer bumper or magazine followers?
Bold Strategy.

Also that buttplate looks suspiciously polymer

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

I guess the FAL and AKs have plastic pistol grips.

20rnd GI mags with metal followers, the buttplate is aluminum... but I think you got me with the buffer bumper.

This should pass:

I won't be buying any more after the owner's recent behavior, but I think this counts within the rules.

I could post a couple dozen revolver photos that don't have front sight inserts and have wood grips. Or more 1911 pics.

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.

Its a weird / cool one for sure. 21st century take on 19th century CCW

It's LCP sized, but even thinner (5/8" vs 3/4".)

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

It’s a commander.  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.

I wonder if anyone here knows what the third one is. There's a model 100 and a 7600 as well but they are in the way back of the safe.
