You Sir are a magician. My hat is off to you!The heat shield was not made for a thick wall barrel, so the hard part was getting it on. Cut to length leaves one mounting tab left put a longer bolt with nuts on the in side of tab tighten one loosen the other to spread the front of the heat shield a little jb weld cut the bolt and nuts out, cut the other tab off and it is really tight.
DITTOThat is F'ing sweet! Wow. That is one nasty surprise for the bad guys!!!!
Did you find a short forend or did you have to cut it down? Mine was a long one I cut down and rework the inside of the front end. Make sure your grip comes out long enough.You know how they say "imitation is the finest form of flattery"... I have no idea what I'm doing with the woodworking aspects. Just found an old corncob set on ebay and figured I'd give it a try. Fun way to learn wood shaping and staining. Thanks again for sharing, Ranfunk!
The online description wasn't great on the stock I bought. I could tell it was for a 500 with dual action arms, so I figured I could make it work regardless. It was 8" overall, so I had to cut it down and dremel out the front end. Also had to widen the rear a bit to accommodate the thicker barrel profile. Lots of sanding, fit testing, sanding, fit testing, sanding ad-nauseam.Did you find a short forend or did you have to cut it down?
