Hey guys,
A friend of mine has decided to embark on building a pretty much totally custom 92 Brigadier. He is basically trying to build a real version of a gun off of a movie. Why? Doesn't matter to me. It's his gun and he wants to. And honestly when it's finished it will be a really impressive gun. His two biggest obstacles right now are as the title described, adding a 1911 style beavertail and an extended tac-rail to the gun.
He has contacted several "gunsmiths" locally, and across the country. No one wants to seem to help him. All he gets as far as replies to his queries are how dumb it is and how they hope the gun blows up on him. Obviously not "High Road" people. One guy he emailed actually told him he would do it, for $40,000. Or he would send him a CNC blueprint of a Beretta 92 for $8,000.
So I told him I would go to the best source I know, THR. There would be some welding for the beavertail, and some machining/welding for the extended tac-rail. So if you guys know any REAL gunsmiths that you think would be willing to help, he would be very appreciative. I was going to post pics of what he has now with what he wants, but it will not let me post both pics. I can only choose one or the other. So I'll post what he wants. If you know the Beretta Brigadier, you'll know what needs to be different. If you, or the gunsmith, need the pic of what he has now, I can post that in a separate message. Thanks guys. I really hope he can bring this dream to fruition.
