A 20ga shorty (NEW thread)
« on: February 06, 2014, 01:49:33 PM »
Part II... I just typed out a full page and zingo...gone!!  GRRR  >:(

I enjoyed building the 410 and don't (didn't) currently have a 20ga H&R. I posted a ad in the WTB H&R area and Gendoc PM'd me straight away. (Thanks again doc!!)  He had a line on a 20ga barrel for me!! We struck a deal and he sent it out to me, it arrived this afternoon.




I decided 19'' was what I wanted so I marked it, chocked it up in the blocks and took a hack saw to it. Then the file to clean things up.



I want to install a copy of a Tommy-gun comp. This one installs with set screws. But I'm gonna weld it on once I'm satisfied its what I really like.



So I need to open up the ID of the comp to the OD of the barrel.




Next I mocked up my rear site, a Williams peep.



I found the center of the barrel and located then prick punched the holes, then drilled them.



The I tapped the first and double checked second hole.



Tapped second hole and finish mounted the peep.



Hopefully I can get it turned this weekend... ;D ;D

More once I get that comp opened up.

Looks like an interesting piece.  Definately not a dove gun, but should be great at bunny busting and various woods loafing duties.

Thanks RED!!  ;) ;)

Its a slug/buck shot chooter. ;)

Today I was able to get the comp turned to fit the barrel. and have it attached with the grub screws for testing. If I like it ill permanently attach it.

Here is the comp.






Here it is all mounted ready to shoot. ::)
