Here is the end result of the stock on my JMPro
After the stock was finish, and about 3.5 episodes of "House of Cards" later I started prep work on the forend and left the rest for another day.
Now originally I stated that I wanted to replicate the Salient Arms International Mossberg 930 grip work, but last minute I went with a little more surface area than they do, but still leaving it looking neat and clean at least in my opinion anyway. Special attention needs to be taken when working on the forend as it is significantly thinner than the stock mainly when you get to the top section of the forend. Stippling too deep will poke holes all they way through and possibly lead to cracking down the road when operating your weapon system.
What you're going to want to do now, and this goes for the grip also I might add, is draw our your section you want stippled, and then tape it off. This just helps make your edges crisp and visually easier to follow. Also, if you don't have a dremel I highly suggest going and purchasing one, they're relatively cheap and will save you a lot of time.
Do your best to make all surfaces equal and flush, the more flush they are to one another, the better your results will be. Mine still could've used more sanding so take your time.
My goal was to make the stock and forend look as close as possible, and I thought I did that, but this wasn't the case and luckily I was able to go back over it after already completing it. This is the FIRST time I went over the forend with more of a randomized approach, a little spaces between stipples.
Here the small spaces are little more visible, it doesn't look like much space between them but in the picture to follow you'll see. (I'll show the tip I used later)
Here is a close-up of what I'm talking about, This wouldn't have looked bad at all if the stock was done with the same technique. But I'm one that has to have everything perfect or "close to" perfect. So I went through the whole thing and stippled all the spaces......
I apologize for the lighting in the following two photos, night time was upon us and all I really need was the light on the table in front of me to work. Here is the forend after all the spaces were stippled.
Photo limit for this one, Part 3 to follow. . .
