7 Amateur Gunsmith Fails that are just Horrible

Amateur gunsmiths can be an addiction for some, but man some have gone overboard. These amateur gunsmithing fails will certainly break your heart.

The number-one hated tool that no amateur gunsmith should touch, ever, is the dreaded Dremel.

Need to port your beautiful revolver? Grab a hacksaw, a Dremel and let the metal fly…

Need a scope mount for your Ruger Mini-14 rifle? Well, this guy can hook you up…

Why not use an electric engraver to scribe a serial number, or even your social security number, into gun metal? Well, both have sadly been done…

This Mosin Nagant rifle gives a new meaning to bolt action…

No one will see that right? Looks good enough to send back to the customer…

That gunstock is a vision of beauty, right? “Function over beauty” does not even begin to address this monstrosity.

***Ok here’s an extra one. These used to be Mosin Nagant rifles. This gunsmith was thinking more for concealed carry.
