Lost my "Before pics" had to re-install windows not too long ago and most of my uploaded images and files weren't backed up... I usually delete the pics off the digital cam after I upload , save and edit them. Lost all my before and after on 2 other guns aswell, a CZ 452 done in digital and a HKUSPc in twilight tiger stripe.
 
Any special tricks or tips on cutting down your barrel? I just found an inexpensive barrel for my 500 an was thinking of doing something similar. I have successfully cut down a rifle barrel, but never a shotgun. Anything other than legal length to be aware of?
 
I've done it twice with no problem. I just cut it to about 18 3/4 to give me some play incase the cut was crooked and needed filing. then once again used a roll around pipe cutter to give me a nice stright bevel and ridge to work with.
 
It looks like the stock was shortened too. I do that to my "house guns"- it makes them easier to pull to my shoulder and manuever around.

Nice work- I love it when people fix old stuff, rather than replace it.
 
very good looking gun. I just bought one used from a friend and it's in need of a teardown and some TLC. I may well do a duracoat job on it similar to this, as it's to be a HD gun as well.
 
yeah, forgot to mention that I had to knock 1" off the stock. Long arms but shotgun handles a little better with a tighter to shoulder seat and bent elbow.
 
I've duracoated rubber before. it doesn't hold "great" on some softer types and eventually it'll wear down. But for this shotgun I used alot of flex additive so We'll see. The problem with softer rubber is it's near impossible to get all the oils out without ruing the pad or cracking it ontop of that the paint can only "flex" so much and soft rubber collapses or "expands". I've painted stiff solid rubber like magpul ranger plates for AR-15 mags and rubber picitinny rail covers with no problems + some rubber scope caps and I also did some foam rubber aswell and it is still holding fine:

I have to admit, I'm impressed with your work. I thought it'd be the usual conglomeration of halfway done projects meshed into one, but it looks very well done.

Congrats on giving another lease on life to an old, worn-out firearm.
 
thanks for the heads up on using the pipe cutter. I'm getting ready to make a single barrel NEF junker a bit more managable
