What can I call my Rifle now that it's fully customized.

[Deadshot2]

A few years ago I bought a Remington 5-R Milspec and shot the dickens out of it. Loved it. As time went on things started to get changed out. First the trigger assy. Then a new stock which I performed some minor mod's on. Didn't like the factory bolt so I replaced it with a PTG one piece spiral fluted and M-16 style extractor.

By now, Im now down to the barreled action (excluding bolt) when it came to "Remington" parts.

Lastly, I changed the barrel.

So when asked what "Brand" of rifle it is, do I merely say "Custom" or "B&C Benchington" (B&C Stock, Benchmark Barrel Remington Receiver). Can I call a rifle named after me? Or should I just name it "Fred"?

What do the rest of you do when you have a rifle where the only OE part is the receiver tube with serial number, every other part including Bottom metal having been replaced?

What do you call it?

 

[Jig Stick]

Call it "Charlene" there private Lawrence.

 

[roggom]

Custom Remington, or Custom - gunsmith - Remington

 

[MarkCO]

If you have an insurance rider, you should call it what the serial number calls it and then add the modifications to the descriptor. For "range" purposes, I call them "mine".

 

[DIBBS]

Call it My Beotchh!

 

[Straight Shooter]

Hang all the dingle balls, chrome lock stems, fuzzy visors, skull shifter, barefoot gas pedal, spinner hub caps, swap in a Vega motor in a Pinto and it's still a Pinto. A customized Pinto.

It's still a Remington. I guess it's a customized Remington now.

 

[Big_Rig_416]

I give all my rifles nicknames. my RRA Ar is called "Black Betty." my Garand is named "Chesty." My rock island goes by "The Rock."

Give 'em nicknames, its fun!

 

[RHunter]

I'd call it finished.

 

[LV 426]

Remingdone 700

 

[splean]

Boomstick!!!

 

[pjparker]

The serial numbered part of a firearm IS the firearm, so no matter what you do to your Remington, it is still a Remington. Highly modified, yes, but something other than a Remington, no.

[jbell]

I would call it time to start shooting...

 

[Gunfighter14e2]

Money pit

 

[majohnson2]

R700

 

[zac_c]

call it your meat stick

 

[JB02]

I have a similar type gun. I just call it a R700 that I built up myself.

 

[KUSA]

Remingstein 700ish

 

[exx1975]

I call it "built", like motors, I call em built or rebuilt, like its a "built remington 700", if heavily modified I might say its a "completely built AR".

 

[emdeucee]

My "Awp"..... ever play counter strike?

 

[ridenrunwv]

Money pit

+1 lol

 

[Dirty D]

In the same boat with a Stevens 200 receiver, I call it the FrankenStevens.

 

[Assault116]

Custom Remington, or Custom - gunsmith - Remington

This

 

[Notso]

Call it "Charlene" there private Lawrence.

Or Maryjane Rottencrotch?

 

[Shooter_Mc_Gavin]

Call it "Now to build another one."

 

[wilwith1l]

^ "My most recent build".

Until you get to "My current build".

 

[mackdrvr]

It still says Remington on the receiver.......

 

[wilwith1l]

This is OP's predicament...

I call mine Nadezhda.

 

[Deadshot2]

call it your meat stick

Sorry, I already used that name for something else

 

[Deadshot2]

I'd call it finished.

So did my wife

She still doesn't know what the total cost was --------- yet.

Already started on an SPS-Tactical in .223. Figured I'd need a rifle that used less powder and cheaper bullets the way things are going with components

 

[--BLACKOUT--]

Here's an idea... call it whatever the fuck you wanna call it. You picked it out and paid for it, so name it.

Basically what you did was ask a Kardashian sister if your $100 Coach purse is as good as their $800 purse, even though they both get the job done. As you see with the car reference, to most, it's not about who's driving... but what you are driving.

As we all know, only so many on this site depend on their guns to save lives... if you're gun gets things done just the way you want, it shouldn't matter what you "can" call it. Based on most of the answers, I'd call it a custom just to piss people off.

Haha... talk about "wrong side of the bed," I need some cereal... not custom cereal, just regular ol cereal.

 

[VJJPunisher]

Call it a dildo who goes a rats fuck

 

[wilwith1l]

I need some cereal... not custom cereal, just regular ol cereal.

Regular cereal? What an embarrassment. You probably have those shitty Harris bi-pods on your spoon...

Hell yea, Harris!... knockoff of a Harris knockoff! Gets the J-O-B done every time, sometimes, IF I do my part.

 

[Deadshot2]

IF I do my part.

Now THAT's a statement you don't hear very often on a shooting forum
