TINCANBANDIT's Gunsmithing: Post Apocalyptic Gun Porn 2

I posted the first round of Post Apocalyptic Gun Porn back in April of 2018, that post got a lot of attention and led me to building one of my own. I had purchased a Savage/Stevens model 325A rifle that was already 1/2 way there. I added some ersatz repairs and this was the result

The credit for creation of this genre can probably be given to the movie Mad Max, in which the main character uses a variety of weapons, most notably the sawed off double barrel shotgun

These next two are from the movie The Book of Eli and both have an interesting back story.

The first gun is a Heckler & Koch HK45, which had only been released a year before the movie was filmed. The folks that provided the weapon had to artificially age the pistol to make it look like it had survived a nuclear war and 30 years of dystopian hell.

The second gun was Eli's shotgun, it is a Remington 870 Witness Protection...many will say this is a Remington TAC-14, but that model did not exist in 2010, back then it was called the Witness Protection, adopted by the U.S. Marshalls office for that exact purpose, of course it was only available to law enforcement, which is not a problem for Eli as the NFA doesn't exist in his world. Fortunately for us, the industry found a loophole in the NFA that allowed us little people to own these short barreled shotguns without permission from the overlords.

The following ones were not created to fit the theme, they were most likely created by criminals, taking cheap, easily acquired weapons and cutting them down (for concealment), then using improvised methods for repair combined with a total lack of respect for the gun results in the guns looking like they survived the apocalypse.

This pistol was made from a Remington "5-teen" rifle, most likely the single shot 510 Targetmaster

Bolt action shotguns are popular in this capacity as they are very inexpensive

Here are a couple of .410 bolt action shotguns

This one was captured from a Somali pirate

Here are a quorum of Ruger 10/22s that were cut down, had they done this with the Ruger Charger, no laws would have been broken (except for possibly "felon in possession of a firearm")
