The guy who did that is Maghog here on AO, he used to own a custom carving/jewelry company and did mostly custom triggers. He would get a pretty penny for them too, but from what I hear, WELL worth the $$Originally posted by oldsoldierthis is kinda old... the gun was confiscated by the police in germany.
The cocker is old, but never confiscated, Dan had it hidden well. He did have a bunch of stuff confiscated, but then returned after everything was straightened out.
The cocker was complet hand carved. It is fully functional, however the walls are too thin to actually use. Dan wanted to see exactly how far/much he could do to the cocker. He has done a completely carved Micro Emag as well. He tried to get a battery for it and some other parts and it was actually the caution label on the battery that caught the German authorities attention.

whatever happened to him, I can't remember. Did he say he was going to retire or something due to other things. I know he went MIA for a bit on AO. Showed up a few months ago and showed us all his stuff and told us the police story. Now he's gone again and I can't seem to remember why he left.
I knew not what I did but am now edumacated

I'm still around, checking in here once a week or so. I just don't have much time anymore to stay involved on AO.
Completing one of these guns takes so much time and energy, I have to admit that the Cocker totally drained me. Although the E-Mag is well on its way to becoming the next and possibly final TLC, I am not really carving much anymore right now. It's hard to get focused on it when I have so many other things to deal with.
It's nice to still see this thing kicking around, even if it is already "old" after only half a year.
I thank those who make an effort to keep the facts straight,
although the stories get more and more distorted as time goes on. Some of the things I have read are mind boggling, and makes me wonder where it comes from. It used to irk me, but now it makes me laugh.
Did any of you know that I sold this thing for a quarter of a million dollars? I didn't either until I read it on a forum that shall not be named. Strangely enough, I've still got the gun and my bank account is empty.
Oh well, if half of the claims were true, I'd be held hostage by the German mafia, doomed to be drowned in beer if my ransom isn't paid. At least it would be a good death.
Take care,
Dan@Triggernomics

Dan, if you get around to seeing this, I have to say how much I admire your work. Tell me, do you still do little comissions here and there?

Thank you, and yes, I will still do custom work, but only for those who don't start out with, "how much would it be if..."
Either you want something first class and will pay for it, or you can look elsewhere for your nearest dealer of cheapo brand products.
I don't mean to be rude, I just don't have time for that anymore.
You can pm me here if you are still interested.

Dan, I remember the original posts, and the problems you were having with the police. Then, for whatever reason, I lost track of the whole story. I AM glad, however, that you got all your stuff back...I remember you being pretty stressed. Its kind of sad to hear you may not be doing the asmazing work you have done, but totally understandable. When a hobby becomes a passion, becomes all consuming, you gotta make choices. Good luck to you. And welcome back

No offense taken, it seems that's the prevailing sentiment with customizers these days.Originally posted by MaghogThank you, and yes, I will still do custom work, but only for those who don't start out with, "how much would it be if..."

(didnt read the whole thread)
i cant beleive some of you guys didnt know about this, there have been quite a few threads, theres a lot of info on this and other guns.
actually IIRC, this was the only gun he had left. an e-mag he made was stolen, and everything else was confiscated when the german police found out he had an e-mag shipped to them (crazy germans). this was the only gun he still has because he hid it so well, since it was his best work.Originally posted by oldsoldierthis is kinda old... the gun was confiscated by the police in germany.
