My "hamilton" pistol.
Carved from a block of curly maple. I did the wood work, finding parts, ect...but a friend of mine attached the trigger group for me. All that I still have to do is get a ramrod, and maybe a rear sight if I feel the need for one.
Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!

Here's my milsim conversion of an old ICD Thundercat. I used an Ion shroud and sight with a BT stock and a Tippmann carrying handle.





I had to fabricate a dovetail rail to secure the stock and handle, and a shroud for the stock to cover the velocity adjuster.



The rail has a spring-loaded ball plunger to hold it in place and make it easy to access the velocity adjuster without tools.

Here's another ICD Milsim conversion. This time, I took a Desert Fox and fitted it with butt and forestock from an M1A1 Thomson SMG (WWII). This is still a work in progress as I would like to put an authentic grip frame on and fabricate the rear iron sights as well. A drum magazine will be a project for when I really get bored...







Fabricating the mounting brackets for these was more than a trial, which is why I've run out of steam on this one, at least for a little while. I should have iron sights ready by D-Day.

My original project gun! My ICD Bushmaster that I cut, milled, drilled and ground down. Pics are dirty and the gun has taken a beating over the years...



All of the profiling here was done by hand with a spindle sander and an air grinder. Alignment is all eyeballed. I polished it on a cotton buffing wheel.



I milled a second slot for the eye switch.



Eye covers definitely ain't pretty, but they get the job done.

That's a pretty sweet gun. I always liked the look of matching colors. Unfortunately, my purple cocker is hard to match anything to.
