I original saw this piece of awesomeness you see below on arfcom. I knew I had to have one. So I got in touch with Bryan at AIM and acquired some mosin crates and Laminate Stock M44s. Thanks Bryan!
First you start with a basic crate. The wood on the inside is generally in good shape, the wood on the outside; not so much. They move the crates around with forklifts so you can imagine what could go wrong. There are several places that I had to repair with wood putty. I forgot to take pics of that process.

I liked the touch of grenades for the feet.
DeleteDamn.... now that's slicker than a greased pig!
ReplyDeleteLove it.:)
DeleteNow thats a conversation piece, nice wood work. Saw one made out of a lobster trap with glass top. Stuff that will make you pause to think?
ReplyDeleteYes, I appreciate this sort of things.
DeleteThat's cool, but what a pain in the ass when you need to get to a rifle in a hurry. You gotta move your beer off the table first...
ReplyDelete:D
Damn, I didn't think of that.:) Maybe we could devise the bottom as a sliding drawer and with a touch of the button an "Assault" rifle would spring fully loaded and chambered into your hillbilly, toothless, Confederate hands!:)
DeleteLOL at Brock.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking spam cans for feet.
