Figured you guys might like to see my current project. I had and really liked my Remington 597 rifle, and decided it'd be cool to have a pistol, ala Ruger Charger style. Instead of jumping thru the hoops ($$$) of BATFE to cut down a rifle and get it re-registered as a pistol, I decided to build my own receiver from 6061, and use some spare 597 parts, and a few other pieces from other guns.
Here's what I've come up with so far.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the muzzle ends just about 3/8" past the handguard, might thread it for my brake I just made, just for looks, and to add another inch and a half to the OAL.
Still need to mill the bracket for the grip, as well as drill the holes to pin the trigger group in place, as well as just some minor touch up work on the fit. Lastly, after a test firing, I plan to mill a picatinny rail on the top and add a 2x holo sight. What do you guys think?
