[QUOTE="Dmc707, post: 4307343, member: 54876"] Done - for now Will have to pattern it to see how she shoots at living room distance on out to 25 yards or so - then I’ll make the final decision on whether to bob the stock to a shorter LOP or not Stuck with the factory wood but added some grip tape as the un-checkered wood felt a bit slippery The barrel bob was surprisingly easy but required a lot of file work to make it square and I merely topped it off with a universal fiber optic sight for starters - it’s 19.5” as I wanted to leave a little wiggle room in case I completely pooched the cut Could not source a mag extender locally , but - it’s 4+1 as it sits and I don’t foresee myself breaching doors with the local swat team or anything , so I I think 5 rounds of 12 gauge with a handful nearby on the butt would solve a lot of perceived problems Anything too much more exotic than this would take away from the spirit of the project, which was to turn an old bird gun into something handier and more functional for my needs for about the same price as a Maverick 88 or base model 870 Express But was a fun way to spend a little bit of my Saturday. and I’ll keep updating the thread as improvements are made [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1995.jpeg"]499600[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1993.jpeg"]499601[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1994.jpeg"]499602[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
