DeaconKC Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Okay, I had always wanted a Super .38 after reading about the 20s and 30s Prohibition Wars. So a few years ago came across Sig having a sale on their .38 Super barrels at a GREAT price so I grabbed one, thinking it would work with some spare stuff I had around. Ooops, it got home and was a ramped barrel! So now I either have to get a new frame or have one cut. Found a nice deal on a Caspian frame, so that was solved. Then discover the slide I had lined up for it wouldn't work either....so new slide. By the time I got done about the only things that got used from my original plan were the grip bushings and a Wolff spring kit! Any way I did finally wind up with a Super .38 that looks "right" and is a fantastic shooter. Anybody else ever have a project go off the rails like this?

Pat Riot Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 This is kind of the opposite, but when I was in Oregon I bought an Anderson Arms AR lower receiver cheap. I just bought it because it was there. I had no intention of building another AR. I had sold the others I had. Anyway, I moved to California and being a law abiding citizen, like most gun owners, I followed the law here and “documented” (registered) all of my guns as the law requires. I listed all the guns that I brought into the state that I did not purchase in this state when I lived here before. (subliminal message: this isn’t the thread for bashing California that you were looking for) I went ahead and listed the lower receiver. About 3 weeks later I get a letter from the DOJ telling me I must send them photos of the configuration of my AR to determine if it’s “an assault weapon” or if it’s of legal configuration. They said until I did my other guns weren’t going to be properly registered. I called the DOJ and was told “You must assemble the gun and send us photos of its configuration so we can determine if it’s legal.” So I asked the lady “You’re telling me that the Cal. DOJ is telling me to build an AR-15?” She laughed and said “Yes, I guess we are.” So I did. And here it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Some gunwise person observed that when you customize your 1911 you will eventually have a pile of parts that can be assembled into a gun that resembles the one you started with. Sounds like you did kinda the same thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
