"Frankensteins"...... ??!!??

In another post, thread someone mentioned building an AR... I always thought of that as the ultimate ...mix and match... of parts to create a ...Frankenstein... I've never done that..

However... A number of years ago I did ...rebuild... a rescue Remington 870 Express someone had turned into a heavily modified ...3 gun.... monster with a limb saver pistol grip stock of some kind, accessory forearm, side saddle, and 10 shot magazine tube extension.... This I rebuilt into a sporting clay, waterfowl hunter for my stepson.. Funny part is.... It must have been the only shotgun the person had as it came with a homemade ...duck plug... for the 10 shot magazine extension...

Anyone rebuilt any other ....rescues.... ??

Have built a couple AR’s nothing really redoing anything else. but put together from parts a 32 cal black powder rifle which does kinda look
Like a Frankenstein haha

That 870 rescue sounds like a fun project. How'd your stepson take to it after the rebuild? Ever thought about tackling another rescue gun, maybe an old rifle or revolver this time?

Disclaimer.... FYI.... I am likely the worlds worst wood worker of most any aspect.. Especially firearms stock work.. However..

At different times, years ago, I did refurbish, recycle, make useful some old military rifles when ....Bubba.... type firearms were cheap making them into what would be considered ...truck guns... or other types of ....budget... hunting firearms.. Also making a fleet of single shot 22 rifles useable for a local sports club Fire Arms Safety Class program..

At a time that kind of equipment could be aquired and renovated cheap, but not now it todays world it seems..

I've tackled a couple of rebuilds myself, and let me tell you, one of the most rewarding ones was a real beater of a Mossberg 500 that had definitely seen better days. I swapped out the old furniture, cleaned up the insides, and gave that baby a fresh start as my trusty camp gun.
