[defcon]

its my latest .22LR conversion using a Marlin 60. dummy links to complete the look. no live ammunition present.
i was taking pics of my build and he wanted to hang out with me. he has other 30 centerfire .22LR replicas to play with when he turns 6

So these are 22lr conversions? What did that cost, and why? It seems like all that is mall ninja magnet at the range.. what you like to get bugged while you shoot?

yes sir. im a mall ninja so its okay.
i do enjoy talking to people at the range about these conversions and letting them shoot it especially the kids and their dads.

about $100 - $200 each.

simple. its fun and cheap to shoot these .22's. i like to build/collect centerfire replicas i cant own/buy.

Awesome pictures, good looking boy. You're building a lifetime of memories for both you and your son. It's cool that he wanted to "hangout" with you. Enjoy these times cause they grow up quick.

Nice work on the builds as well.

Ok... now you've shown the finished product... how about showing some step-by-step or in-process pictures?

Pretty neat looking builds... would love to see how you are doing them!

Cheers,

You are getting pretty damn good at these! I couldn't imagine having these as a child! He's going to have many awesome memories as a result of your diligence.
