Gunsmith Master – Part 8 requires 2 separate weapons, an M700 and an M1911. The rifle needs its MOD*X conversion and suppressed scope setup, while the pistol has its own grip, muzzle brake and tactical-device requirements.

How to complete the build
Prepare both weapons before trying to finish the task. The example bases are the M700 from Peacekeeper LL2 and the Colt M1911A1 from Peacekeeper LL1.
For the M700, use a 5-round magazine or no magazine. Check the M1911 separately rather than assuming the rifle's completion marker covers both objectives.
Check the complete weapon in the inspection window before handing it over. The quest checkmark can be inconsistent even when a build qualifies, so a missing marker alone does not prove the weapon cannot be submitted.
Example parts and trader access
These parts form an example configuration. Follow any alternative-part choices in the table and check the assembled weapon against every required stat. LL refers to trader loyalty level.
