Gunsmith Master - Part 8

“Gunsmith Master - Part 8” is a Mechanic task in Escape from Tarkov. Requires level 38. Reward: 27,700 XP. Objectives: Modify an M700 to comply with the given specifications; Modify an M1911 to comply with the given specifications. Required for the Kappa container. Walkthrough, map and requirements.

Mechanic — briefing

I've got an unusual order here. Not one masterpiece as usual, but two works of art. I think you'll manage. The landscape — a Remington Model 700 sniper rifle kitted out entirely in AB Arms, with powerful optics and a suppressor, no exceptions. Ergonomics no lower than 35, total recoil no higher than 500. And it has to be light, with a small magazine. The still life — a Colt M1911 pistol with a Pachmayr grip, an Anarchy Outdoors muzzle brake and any light.

Objectives

• Modify an M700 to comply with the given specifications
• Modify an M1911 to comply with the given specifications

Tactical notes

• WHERE TO GO: nowhere. The gun is built at the hideout workbench — no raid needed; parts are bought from traders and the flea market. The parts list and build screenshots are further down this page.
• The parts list and both in-game build screens are further down this page.
• This task is part of the Kappa container chain — do not skip it.

On completion

Mechanic: Okay, I see the bolty, and what about the handgun? There it is, my precious. Good work, friend. The next order is coming in tomorrow, so you can go do your own work until then.
