It’s all just mock up at this stage. I want to reblue it or maybe even get it ceracoated even and the stock needs work to fit my hand properly and probably paint it up some bright stupid colour.
Please dont paint it. It is too nice as it is. It has that special spy look to it just professional enough while still having that mad scientist diy look about it.
It’s like a bulldog, it’s so ugly that its beautiful. Definitely weird.
I’m with @sungazer here. Please don’t change it. It has a cool vibe going.
Uh, fuck, too late, you already circumcised the stock, I see. Well, in that case, you could I suppose remove shellack and refinish the wood, Danish oil would be my suggestion, but that’s it.
Oww Now youve said it I went back to have another look. O Ben why, why a classic look and you went Bubba.
It was already well bubba’d already mate. It should look like this…
The barrel on mine has been turned down and threaded with some random thread so they could screw about 15cm of barrel extension on to increase the sight radius, but it was loose and if you tightened it up the sights where not aligned. I could of shimmed it, but I wanted a red dot (maybe a scope later) so the front sight was redundant anyway.
With the full barrel extension on it it doesn’t fit in my pistol safe either as the barrel is a foot long already.
The stock has been for made for laying down like
I feel a whole lot better now thanks. Sorry for the accusations Its just a pet thing not to deface historical stuff. But only if it is orig and in good nick. I have experimented with re blueing or parkerizing a old 303 which I was hesitant to do even though it was not a great condition or even good example.
Just keep an eye out for those toes have seen enough of your toes in not so great condition. 
Just as a size comparison for anyone that hasn’t seen one of these in real life, here it is with a full size 1911.
It is so Russian Hit man that I had to Google it and read all about it. Glad to be inspired to do that. It will be a hit at the range and a timeless talking piece. I bet it will shoot better than it looks will just make it more interesting to people.
You could build a really cool single shot Wellrod out of one of these
It would certainly make free pistol more exciting…
Dotlov shoots like stink!
The Dotlov’s a little winner!! Well not so little at all but you know what I mean.
The Dotlov sitting in the safe with other pistols.
Try some Eley Sport…Im sure it will improve on that…
Try aiming first 
…and adjusting the dot.
