I had considered a break action design for a rifle, the only issue is the fact you'd be more or less limited to one shot. The hunting rifle could also be used, but I still think the pipe bolt action has the best animation for making it look like a converted weapon. When I have some time I'll play around with some more designs to see what looks best. I've got a few other ideas I want to sketch out as well.

Howdy folks, a while ago myself and another member of the Nexus worked together on a 2 bore rifle mod but sadly he's taken a break from moding and I don't know how to implement a mod, but I have just found the files again. I was wondering if anyone would help implement or even implement and upload the mod themselves, crediting myself and the other user who worked on it. At present I have files to add the gun into the game with custom sounds and ammo, what needs doing is a recipe added to make the custom ammo and the point of aim adjusting, along with some stat changes perhaps. Thanks for reading folks!

The bolt action pipe pistol animation is perfect for these style of conversions, even in terms of how much work would be done to the actual gun to convert it to the bolt action action and like you said, since there's no magazine they can be one shot or magazine fed. I originally even considered a long barrel and stock add on but the rifle animations still have you holding it in a pistol grip configuration and I could't find a way for it to fit and not look a little awkward, but it's definitely possible.

I don't have the skill to create this myself, but I'd be happy for someone to use the concept! That's why I posted it here, to see if anyone would be interested in making it that actually knows what they're doing haha I've got a few other ideas for concepts but I need the time to draw them up.

The main reason the scope is mounted there instead of on the barrel was to avoid any issues with clipping when you cycle the bolt and so if the sight was a reflex type sight rather than a long range scope (I chose that style of scope since it could pass as functioning as either) it wouldn't require any adjustment to camera zoom to fill the screen properly when you aim. Placed where it is its in almost exactly the same place as sight more on the pipe pistol. A lot of stuff in the design is done for a certain reason like that so it would fit in as well as possible using vanilla assets. I used Washington's pistol not just because it fit the theme, but because it's grip and barrell lined up perfectly with the bolt action pipe pistol. I did consider adding a bayonet mod. I liked the idea of an American Revolution bayonet, but decided the use a rifled muzzle because it seemed more practical and I didn't want to add more than 3 mods that made a visual change and I wanted them to all be more modern parts.p A shotgun mod for the receiver would be awesome though

There's a Brahmin milking mod https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12175/? but that's as close as it gets to what I think you're asking for...

Hey Folks, this is a concept I recently did and I figured I'd see if anyone would be interested in it. It's based on George Washington's pistol and has 3 mods, a rifled choke, a magazine to increase shot count from one to fave and a sight. I carefully scaled everything so all the animations from the bolt action pipe pistol would fit perfectly, even with differences like the barrel diameter and the general shape of the handle. The three modifications were designed so they wouldn't change the original weapon itself and are just added on as well. Hope people like what they see and I'd love to hear some feedback. Thanks for reading!

If the offer is still open I bashed together a blueprint of a junker weapon of you're interested?

Whilst not exactly what you're looking for there's a basic lean function in vanilla. If you stand close to a wall etc and aim you lean out to the side. Only mentioning it since it's easy to miss and I don't think it's even actually mentioned in game that you can do that. Sorry if it's something you're already aware of, but a decent thingti use whilst you wait to see if there's any interest in making this. I also agree that a manual lean would be a great mod by the way, don't want you to think I'm trying to knock your idea haha

Sperry to hear that, had something come up myself as well so sorry for not replying sooner. The robes look awesome, I really cant thank you enough :)

Ah man that sucks, my computer recently decided to fail to boot so having to use my back up now. Can't wait to see it, especially using the texture processing you use, looks amazing

Those mages can rip through the fabric of reality and summon being from the realm of oblivion, yet they struggle with the concept of some mortar and a trowel...

That looks awesome! Hope you're planning in releasing this

No bother, of its to difficult don't worry about it :) tried modding once myself and it was well boyond my capabilities. Couldnt even manage to make a texture haha

Oh wow that looks brilliant! Should look amazing with the detail. I was wondering about the programs actually, seems really interesting
