“What is this?”
That in the biz is what we would call regret.
Regret that he pissed away $2200 to build a $600 gun, regret that he is pretty unlikely to get the cash he wants out of it, and regret that he is doubly unlikely to find somebody dumb enough to swap for the Python, King Cobra, DE, or anything else on his list that he could have bought for that $2200. You know, somebody as dumb as him.

A Rock Island Armory 1911 that has had the contents of a gunshop added to it.
It is the gun version of some street racer taking a low-level car and adding $30,000 worth of accessories to make it ‘better’, rather than taking that money and buying a better car to begin with.
As JTC says, that is regret.

Is RACEGUN?

I’m afraid I couldn’t even see what you were referring to as I was unwilling to accept a TOS that blocked my view…just to see the post.

Since your other commenters seem to be unaware, it’s a Bianchi Cup gun. The tube around the slide is for the barricade stages.

Too bad he built it on such a plebeian base gun, because that’s what people are going to judge the value on. He should have spent another couple hundred bucks and bought a wore out SA/Kimber/Colt. Considering how much dough he has sunk in it, the extra couple hundred bucks would have been negligible on the front end, but paid off on the back end.

(The massively flared magwell is because you rest it on the ground shooting the prone stages.)

Tam has it covered. The Warren Moore (not Moon) Stick Shift sight base is pretty nifty too. You can pop the lever to cam the optic out to either direction, giving built in lead for the target during the Mover event. Just make certain to adjust for the correct target direction, and also return it to center for all of the other events. This is obviously an earlier model as the barricade shroud and Stick Shift are two separate pieces. The current version has the Stick Shift’s base machined integral to the shroud.

As I read somewhere recently, “This is where you spend a $1000 to turn your $400 gun into a $600 gun.

Actually, in this case, they spend a couple grand turning a $500 gun into a $200 gun.

That is weird. I saw the exact same gun posted in Cheyenne, WY:

“it’s a Bianchi Cup gun.” Yup, kinda like it says right there at the top of the ad.
“Too bad he built it on such a plebeian base gun, because that’s what people are going to judge the value on.” That’s because that’s what the value IS based on.
Parts is parts, not a gun, even when they’re nice parts, that just means expensive. Unrecoverably expensive even with a good foundation let alone when all that expensive lipstick is smeared on an ugly pig. But that’s how you spend a few g’s to end up with a few hun by dumping it or parting it out.
Which was the point of the post and the other “unaware” commenters comments. Sometimes *other* other commenters can be amazingly *self* unaware.

But…but…it has an adjustable traiger.
That’s gotta count for *something*

As a subscriber of Guns & Ammo throughout the 1990s and early 2000’s, I have to say I’m not feeling the hate on this one, since guns very much like that were all the rage back when I was first introduced to the competitive shooting culture. It looks to me as if this guy built a gun for Bianchi Cup competition, probably piecing it together over time, and very likely got his money’s worth out of it. Yeah, if he were building a gun to hold resale value, he might have chosen something else, but if this gun shot well, it did *exactly* what he built it for, no?
I’ll bet there are 3-gun and USPSA/IDPA carbine competitors out there running highly evolved rigs based on DPMS or Del-Ton lower/upper receivers, that shoot just fine. They won’t have the same resale value that a rifle built on Noveske, DD, or Colt uppers/lowers would, but if they are reliable/accurate/fun, more power to ’em.

Ain’t no ‘racegun’. Be a “racistgun”.

How many placed can you go to shoot a Bianchi style matches?

Here’s a listing of NRA Action Pistol (Bianchi Cup style) matches.

Thanks.
