Lol, this is getting out of hand. So many possibilities that would be cool and novel, but would land you in #metoo prison.
Now I'm thinking of how cool and retarded it would be to launch model rockets from under this thing.

I imagine dropping a model rocket motor of appropriate diameter might achieve the desired effect.

*reminder set to buy Estes rocket motors tomorrow.

So the buffer tube arrived today. I installed it and put on the stock with a CAA stock saddle. I also tried out the minimalist stock. I'm thinking of incorporating wood to the butt plate of the minimalist stock with maybe a pad. Or just cutting the very end off a cheap wooden buttstock and boring a recess with a spade bit that the buffer tube will fit into...
Here the two are for comparison.

First of all, I see your bench is working out great. :)

Second, I thought your ruler said Cthulu on it, it really *is* time to go to the eye doctor...

And C, I think I like the minimalist depending on what you do with it.

I don't disagree with this but how's he going to woodify it?

And yes, sadly I am sitting in front of my computer on a Friday night as I have some work to finish so the weekend doesn't completely suck.

Lol. Hey, I'm in front of a computer on a Friday night. What's wrong with that?

I guess one cool thing about the stock adapter I have is that it's easy to swap out stocks. So, I guess I can use that advantage to come up with a few different looks for this Shotty.

You guys have me thinking... I wish my 500 wasn't (a) camo and (b) one of the only HD guns in the house my wife is currently comfortable with. It would be cool to do up a kind of crazy pump action antique North Africa-meets-Khyber Pass Gunsmith Academy-meets-Stars Wars edition.

And I am NOT fucking with my old school Wingmaster!

ETA: I could see this turning into a NYGF contest of sorts. :D

Wow, I totally quoted this when I thought you had only said "Fuck it, go Morrocan". To which I was planning on saying how those stocks are eerily similar to the Thordsen frs-15. Then you had to get all drunk and add the rest of it, haha. But I agree, this could be the start of some cool mod projects for people and their Mossbergs.

"Take me drunk, Occifer- I'm home." :confused: :taser:

Seriously though I wish I had one spare to play with; I have a few other half-finished projects in the pipeline (the 9 you sent me the adaptor for, an 18" .223 I have a Runner99 barrel for).

Just a thought...from the looks of it, your shoulder is the recoil pad. Have you shot it yet with either stock? Don't know if that's going to be your range toy or HD weapon. Either way, shooting buck shots with that stock will be a short range visit and shooting slugs in it will be even more painful. Just a thought.

Yeah, I have thought of that as well. Believe it or not, I have only put around 25 rounds through this shotty. It's been stored ever since. So this is partly to make this gun something more interesting to shoot. With the minimalist stock I was thinking to make some sort of buttstock from a normal hunting rifle stock that would slide onto the tube. To be honest, that minimalist stock is a POS. It threads very poorly and the butt plate is painted pot metal that has a hard time clamping to the tube. My bet would be it would fall off after the first shot.

Here is my initial idea for adding wood to the buttstock. I'm just workshopping this so input is appreciated.
My plan is to take your standard wooden rifle buttstock and cut it into an L shape, bore it out some so that it fits ontop of a modified AR carbine stock. Not sure if it's doable but I want to try and see if I can make it work. At first I was thinking to cut the top part of the AR stock off and have the bored out wooden stock sit on top but I'd have to make sure the buffer tube would fit in. If I keep that part of the AR stock intact and just sit the wood on top of that, no issues with the buffer tube. With this design I get to keep the adjustable aspect of the AR stock. Plus I think it looks kind of cool. I am not sure on how simple or complicated I want to try and go with the shape of the wooden part, ie. Angles cut and shape of the wood.

Yes, the minimalist stock looks cheap.

I would think cutting away that much material from a wood stock would compromise the wood under recoil. snap/crack?

I would look into a "decelerator recoil pad" (available in 3 sizes) trim if necessary and attached with screws. Pachmayr & Limbsaver are 2 good brands..

They do make tactical kits with recoil pad, but I doubt you'll want to spend more $$ on a different kit.

Hmm.

Does Pachmyer still make pads in brown?

How about you fit something wood to the top of the riser, and do a brown rubber butt pad?
