Wasn't sure where to post, didn't see a category for this type but I think it started life as an artillery.

Because he can...

Herr Werle had many more pics of his one-off's, he seems to have culled some of them out...

I like it - but its likely because if you have some collectors and shooters and the skills, you try something different

Herbe seldom posts, but he is a member here. He does some really interesting modifications... I am pretty sure he doesn't use any collectible guns in his mods...

Oh, such creativity, such a display of skill. That I admire, but, ugh! They just ...don't...look...right. To me they define the distorted pinnicle of the term "Frankenluger".

My eyes hurt.
