A Canadian solider carved this replica of the Colt C7 rifle out of oak.
More photos here.
[ Many thanks to JussiV for emailing me the link. ]
The problem with these things is that when you say that it’s stupid because he just wasted skills on making a 1:1 replica out of wood, it will make you look like an incompetent a-hole because everyone will say that you are jealous of this guys skills.
Mad props for the work, but really, doesn’t he have anything better to do?
See? Now it made me look like an a-hole.

1That looks great. Good craftsmanship enjoyed looking at it.
0 0Holy feces, that is awesome.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some writer for CSI uses this as an inspiration for an episode where an assassin smuggles a wooden gun past the metal detectors.
“That punk pulled a C7W0-OD on me. You know what that is? It’s a wooden gun made in Canada. Doesn’t show up on your airport X-ray machines, here, and it costs more than Dennis Franz makes in a month.”
(and yes, I am well aware that this replica gun does have some metal parts, and that constructing a working gun without metal is nigh-impossible)
0 0Since he’s a Canuck, he shoulda carved out of Maple.

Mad props for the criticism, but really, don’t you have anything better to do than comment on blog posts?
0 0Dont’t tell people it’s made of wood. Call it tactical urban camo or better yet call it a “classified” camo pattern and you’ll have some AR loving (read that as totally f-ing maniacally obsessed) scrot shell out 30 grand for it. He’ll never know the difference.

Or asbestos, Canada likes selling it to third world coutries.
Good skills though, to carve that out.
0 0The case is pretty sweet too. and that would work for “real” stuff too . . .
0 0My amazement is the sling. Is that carved from one piece of wood to hinge together (like the chain, or ball-and-cage one-piece wood carvings)?
Or is that pinned together with metal? Either way, impressive!
0 0Very cool. This is a great piece, I’m sure he could make some cash on the side selling just the hand carved .223 ammo.
0 0Nice work!
BTW, that mag had better be pinned to 5 rds, or the Mounties are going to come visiting. 
0 0Nice wall hanger. Be nice over the fire place.
0 0That is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
0 0He dose it for the love of the work.
“Dose he have anything better to do”
Like what, posting comments on others work.
BTW this is fantastic
0 0My grandpa carved guns like this for me. They weren’t as detailed and were based in WWII weapons. They were smaller so that little me could use them. Really cool what this guy did. It takes a lot of skill to do something like that.

It’s one user presenting his home made replicas of guns that would be hard to come by legally where he lives. Somewhere in there is a (working) FWB 300 airrifle dressed up as MG42.
