Summer RUST 2020

Winter Contest Dates are the weekend of 19 Sept 2020. SIGNUPS ARE NOW OPENED. ONLY CONTEST POSTS WILL BE ALLOWED ALL THAT WEEKEND.

Posts will continue to occur in r/gunnitrust. Read through below to find other clarification and additions. The Tiers are exactly the same.

Explanation

GUNNIT RUST IS A GUN BUILDING CONTEST! YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO BUILD AND SUBMIT YOUR OWN HANDIWORK. WE ALLOW PNEUMATIC GUNS BECAUSE OF OPPRESSIVE REGIONS. THERE ARE DIFFERENT TIERS FOR DIFFERENT PROJECTS. THIS HAPPENS TWICE A YEAR. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ASK THEM!

Current Rules I like to keep the rules and tiers minimal for maximum creativity. Some things have changed June 2019

  • No Kabooms!
  • No breaking the law!
  • Post in r/GunnitRust on the contest dates.
  • You no longer have to title your post “GunnitRust” as we have the sub. Title it “Summer Rust 2019: Title Here” if you want it to be easily searchable.
  • Pneumatic guns allowed because of restrictive regions.
  • .25acp energy is the bottom goal but not super-enforced.
  • The r/GunnitRust Sub ONLY allows contest posts on contest days. It is available to post ideas, questions, other builds you’ve seen, etc at all other times. Please Subscribe & Participate
  • You can submit anything you have not submitted to the contest before no matter when it was done.

Participation Tiers These have not changed but some of the writing has been improved and more details added. Please let me assign your tiers and don’t call them out because I frequently move them into the category I see fit. Also note that the total winner can be in any tier so don’t panic. Each tier has a winner and each series.

  • Tier I Built Gun(or Suppressor) Basically, you build a gun from non-gun components. We have allowed commercial gun springs and barrels(or Barrel Liners) for safety but if you have the skills, doing your own is mad props. The rules are pretty arbitrary and you can convert pellet guns, toys, or flare guns etc. Note that I have included suppressors in this tier assuming you form your own baffles.
  • Tier II complete built receivers, uppers, 80% receivers, and suppressor builds with factory baffles with commercial parts This is where all the 80% receivers, re-welds, and parts kits on built or substantially modified receivers would go. Again a winner by Karma and I encourage people to favor the guys doing more work. Note the change for built upper. By built upper I mean you made an upper from sheet metal plates and an MP5 forend or something. It is substantially more than Tier III so I added built upper receiver and obviously your M11/9 or AR-15 can be the base receiver now. Note that if you buy a oil/fuel filter kit and convert it to a suppressor I put it here because you did not form the baffles.
  • Tier III Assembled Gun More commercial parts are allowed . Parts kits turn into guns here. You'll note that this is where the AR-15 assemblies went. Obviously the 10/22 that won the category for Summer Rust 2015 had the advantage of not being just another AR. Many of these are very good and many of them are plain jane. The key is participation so bring anything you assemble to the table. Assembling a gun is much more effort than the majority of our browsers give and makes you an essential part of the contest. Don’t forget that parts list!
  • Tier IV Trusty Rusty Tier Best resurrection of a dead, neglected gat. If your region frowns upon gun building maybe you can play too by turning a rusty hunk of broken down garbage into something functional and ready to be loved again.
  • Tier V Modified Guns Fat kid just want to play too? Did you glue a rail to your 1911? Bless your heart. We actually had a .460 Rowland Glock conversion do very well in Summer Rust 2015 Personally I'd like to see some handmade wood furniture dress ups. These are always interesting no matter how simple you think your work was.
  • Tier VI Gun Related I want the projects to be of some quality...So by related I mean A range of things like your workshop, your home range, your handmade range bag, display cases, custom safes, car mounted gun vaults, your reloading bench setup, bench rest, brass tumbler, or something else actually worthy of a post. So the upper V are guns and this one is gun accessories. Some of these have been really cool things you wouldn’t normally think of like an automated powder alarm on a progressive press.

Sign me up. What Tier would a 0% suppressor be in?

2
GunnitRustOPMODParticipant & Moderator•

Providing you make the baffles, it goes into Tier I.

I'll be making a bit more than just the baffles.

Just waiting for that government check...going to send most of it right back to them in exchange for stamps

Sign me up for a summer rust tier 2 build. Moved away from the machines I previously had access to so I have had to downgrade from tier 1 suppressor to tier 2 suppressor builds. Fixing to build out an SD style suppressor for my recently acquired B&T APC9 SD.

Sign me up, I’ve made a scratchbuilt magazine for an old rifle. Just needs some final adjustments and writing up a post. I guess tier VI since a magazine is a gun accessory?

2
GunnitRustOPMODParticipant & Moderator•

yes most likely VI and added. You don't have to call tiers, we assign them.

This is a detachable magazine or an integral one? Its different if it is something like a Krag.

BoredCopParticipant•

Detachable 10- round mag for a Winchester Self-Loader model 1910. Factory mags only hold four.

2
GunnitRustOPParticipant & Moderator•

VI. Awesome project.

There were some larger magazines made for these for WWI at the least.

Can you get .401WSL easily there?

2
BoredCopParticipant•

Nobody makes the ammo any more, I have a couple packs of Kynoch ammo from the 70's. Handloads are doable though. I use 7.62x39 brass expanded to straightwalled shape, and .41 magnum dies.
