Custom Ruger MKIII, I made some changes

[citizen x]

How much did it cost?

How much did it cost?

Firearm and Accessories about $1,000.00
Suppressor $425.00 Plus $200.00 Stamp
Gunsmithing was $0.00 since I did the work

If I were to quote a Labor price for the work to recreate, I would say $400.00-$500.00

I like the new!

i'd like to do a similar setup when i can get my hands on the 'lite'

I like certain aspects of both builds, but the second build wins overall in my opinion.

I really like the two-tone look of the fist build. It's hard to go wrong with black and silver.

I like the optics on the newer build better, and I like that the barrel/body/bolt is just stainless, not colored. I'm not a fan of the Ruger Colcobo grips though, I prefer the basic black ones.

I'm not judging on trigger work or the like because I'm assuming from the parts list that they're comparable.

Also, how much does that LCI filler run? I've got a stainless MKIII that is crying for one.

The LCI filler was like $25 from a fella on rimfirecentral.com. He makes them.

I like the new look it has a simple elegance about it!

Thanks for the tip. I'll be ordering a few....

Both look great. I prefer the looks of the old, but I like the grips on the new build.

Rofl I like them both. I want you to work on my MKII that is gathering dust!

 

[rsideout]

New. Nice work.

 

[frdfandc]

Both are sharp pieces, but I would do a mix of the two.

New grips/optics with old barrel w/painted flutes.

 

[Ar1b3nz]

Old one looks great but im voting for the new this time, is more of my style

 

[samuraiRS]

+1 for the new look. Definitely looks like a lot of care and attention went to it.

 

[zombiehunter]

How do you like that compensator?

 

[krashmania]

They make me happy in my special place...

Seriously though, both are absolutely beautiful. One of these days I'm gonna get one of these and give you freedom to pimp it out.
