Nice little truck gun for the farm

Post by Ozarkwoodswalker » Wed Jun 17, 2020 5:12 am

nothing fancy. Just a little truck gun I got. A little new england firearms 223. It has a bull barrel..i had it cut down to 16 5 inches.. changed out some plastic parts( trigger guard etc ) for some custom made brass ones by a gent I ran into on line. He made the parts in a backyard machine shop he had
Anyway....a happy little gun that will shoot where you point it...and it's a hoot to shoot...the varmits are dismayed...i am happy......😁

Pics my friend, don't tease

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Run into that sometimes and I go into the edit menu and make the picture a little smaller. Sometimes it works .....

You can use a third party, online service to modify your pictures. There are several to choose from. Try this one: https://resizeimage.net/

Sorry to resurrect an old thread - that is a fine looking mod on your truck gun!

I have a Hornet I love to take out, it's the all synthetic model, it shoots so well I'd hate to change a thing. I could go for 223 with wooden furniture...

Again, good looking rifle, well, carbine?
Semper Fidelis.
