📋 About This Mod
This mod does two things:
1) It changes the perk requirements for the vanilla . 38 receiver mods to Gun Nut 1. Affects the combat rifle, hunting rifle, pipe revolver, and pipe bolt-action weapons.
2) Due to how the game sorts the crafting list in the menu (by the value of the miscellaneous object), it reduces the value of the vanilla . 38 receiver misc objects. This reduction allows the . 38 receiver option to be moved up the crafting list, placing it with other Gun Nut 1 options (rather than leaving it near the bottom of the menu list).
The required components are unchanged, so they'll still need more than the other Gun Nut 1 receiver mods.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny quality-of-life tweak that opens up early-game weapon modding (13 endorsements, 5,409 downloads)
- ESP-light means it won't bloat your load order or cause script lag
- Targets four weapon types, giving you more flexibility with .38 ammo early on
⚠️ Cons
- Niche appeal: only affects .38 receivers, so if you don't use those guns, this mod does nothing for you
- Low endorsement count (13) suggests it's not widely tested, so you might hit unexpected conflicts
- Compatibility risk: any mod that alters those receivers' perk requirements could clash with this one
For Fallout 4 players who want to mod .38 weapons early without investing in Gun Nut 2 or 3. It's a convenience tweak for survival or low-level runs. Skip if you rarely use .38 weapons or prefer overhaul mods that change perk trees entirely.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESP-light, you can safely load it anywhere in your load order, but placing it near other weapon mods helps avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, enable it and check for conflicts with other weapon mods in the load order.
- This mod only affects vanilla .38 receivers, so if you have weapon mods that add new receivers, they won't be affected.
