IKEAHack blog pulls a hack for the Browning 22. Caving to anti-gun pressure.

    Streisand effect.

    I think the blog is just an aggregator of submitters’ ideas. There’s no reason why republication permission from the original author can’t be secured.

    Likewise, anyone with a camera and a Browning Buckmark could be heading to Ikea right now to get ready for their own photo shoot, as you can not copyright the idea behind a post.

    I wouldn’t do it to my pistol; your mileage may vary.

    While the aluminum RULL knob (300.714.30) is OK, I think the metallic silver color detracts somewhat from the aesthetics of the hack, what with the Browning being a flat anodized black color. I suggest using the flat black FINTORP knob (102.082.74) for a color matching Victorian look. Or just visit your local Lowe’s or Home Depot or Ace Hardware for a wider selection of knobs!

    The “hack” is ugly, destroys the lines of the pistol (aesthetics) and being aluminum and not able to take much shock, the knob will likely not last more than a few hundred rounds of slide-slamming before it fails. A better solution would be to have a gunsmith put a premium job of knurling onto the slide, or even, smooth down the present knurling/striations and use grip-tape. At least the grip-tape can be renewed as often as one wants by use of solvents to loosen it’s goo.

  5. Rabbit Says:

    It’s a good idea, particularly if you have a scope mount on the Buck Mark as I do but the execution of this, as my late grandfather would say, is “as ugly as a bull’s ass sewn up with a log chain”.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
