I looked up from my desk the other day and noticed that I had a collection of brush guns forming without even realizing it. A couple of old school rifles and a couple of new versions. Kind of fun
Top to bottom:
The Budget Build 6.5 Grendel
My .458 SOCOM
A Sears Model 54 in 30-30. Basically a re-branded Winchester 94 made in the late 1960's for Sear and Roebucks.
The 6.5 was the result of the "Budget Build" thread. Basically it's a BCA 16" upper with a home built lower.
Upgraded parts are:
Rise Armament drop in trigger
Trinity Force 6 position stock with two QD mount points, recoil pad and sling slot.
Trinity Force rubberized grip
Aero M4E1 lower (no slop between the upper and the lower)
The 458 is a BCA side charging upper, which was nice because their ejection ports are already large enough for the .458. You don't have to do any machining or file work for the rounds to clear. The barrel and bolt were from Southern Ballistic Research, and the muzzle brake was from Axis Mfg. The Magpul Rifle stock fits it well and it's fun to shoot. There is a noticeable recoil though. A friend of mine did the stippling on the grip. It's actually for sale.

Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder... My 10.5" 458 SOCOM is set up for 500GR subsonic... Starting to tweak my wrists... I'll pack the Aleve in the handgrip, too!!
