Shandlanos 1,470 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I agree. A Yugoslavian pistol grip is required. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fallschirmjager667 729 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 an sbr would be cool, cut the stock to a pistol grip and cut the barrels off right at the handguard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boba Debt 350 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I spent about 30 minutes on this today, It has 19.5" barrels and an OAL of 27" I still need to figure out how to make the grip more comfortable Once I figure that out I'll paint the whole thing black Edited February 4, 2012 by Boba Debt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boba Debt 350 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Everyone that does this to a SXS or an O&U just cuts down the original stock to make the pistol grip. I want mine to be more pistol like and wanted to modify the grip so it would accept some type of pistol grips. I stopped at a gun shop today and picked up some Hogue grips made for a medium frame Taurus. They have a very distinct look but I'll have to laminate additional wood to the original grip to make them work. In addition to the stock work I'm going to do so much work to the receiver and fore end that I will have to refinish the entire gun and flat black is the way to go on a little project gun like this.

Jpanzer 1,265 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 No way to bullpup it or add a quad rail? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'm sure he could figure out a quad rail. I'm not sure if a pistol grip up front with a linkage would qualify it as a bullpup - is being magazine-fed a requirement of the definition? And damn that would be a pain in the ass, making a trigger linkage that didn't mind being bent 90 degrees to reload. I can think of a way to do it, but it would be fugly and unreliable.

DrThunder88 912 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 A cable link like Sumsky's 7.62x39mm bullpup might bend, but it probably wouldn't be able to go inside the receiver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 An electric trigger would be the shit! No "MG" issues if it is not an autoloader! Pnumatic would also work, and no battery! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrThunder88 912 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Well, Stoeger's been selling their Double Defense SXS since 2009, so coach guns with rails aren't particularly new. Still, it's interesting to see new developments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I enjoy seeing Boba Debt's projects. Bullpups have never really turned me on, so to say, but guns are like Hot Rods in that way. I may not take that approach, but it is interesting to see what others do with theirs. Especially when they do a nice job with it. I always apreciate good craftsmanship, even if it is not "My style". I am looking foreward to this simpler project that looks more appealing to me. I think he does nice clean work. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Kenny 144 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 No, boba, don't mess up the pretty wood furniture! Refinish the metal if you need to, but don't paint over nice wood! Note that *if* I were going to do something like that, I'd make a comfortable pistol grip my first priority. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chevyman097 2,579 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Now wait a minute. Concerning video in post number 16. Since when does a "sawed" of shotgun need optics and high vis sight? wtf!?!?! put down the crak pipe. Did mossberg really make that? I swear ill never buy another mossberg again. That is the dumbest shit ive ever seen. Even worse that a bullpup AK! rant off before I blow a circuit. I would love to see the person trying to shoot a sawed off with optics! Btw. Boba, i actually love the idea of a sawed off o/u. Would love to see it. But some one please tell mossberg to go die. Keep the mall ninja shit off it!

Scott Kenny 144 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm reminded of the old 'hipster' 20gauge shotguns. They were (and are, IIRC) one of the *very* rare shotgun pistols. Grandfathered into the NFA, iirc. Basically designed to sit inside the door of your car for when someone got stupid and wanted to 'borrow' it at gunpoint, they came with a car-door holster and a personal-wear holster. But please, that shotgun has nice wood. Refinish the wood if necessary, paint the metal, not the wood! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boba Debt 350 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) The wood fore end has several cracks that will have to be repaired with epoxy and it doesn't look that great in person. It also doesn't fit very good but what can you expect from a $200 shot gun. I also want to slim it down, it's really wide for the gun The medium frame Taurus Hogue grips were going to take a lot of work to fit this gun so I was looking at other options and found a Mossberg 500 Pistol Grip for $5. AI had no idea of where to even start at the gun shop but once I had it with the gun it took about 15 minutes to get to this: I like it, and since any Mossberg 500 Grip should work I order a Hogue Tamer. Once I have it installed, I will modify the original stock to make side plates that will cover the internals and hold them in place with 2 threaded couplers and some bolts, much like the way pistol grips are secured. Luckily I have a Judge so I used the Medium frame grips on it and I like them a lot more then the original grips Edited January 27, 2012 by Boba Debt 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theorangeplanet 968 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm digging it! Whats the weight like with it cut down? I think that'd make a sweet backpack gun... a step up from a single shot break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Kenny 144 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Ah, didn't realize the wood was that screwed up. still seems like a shame to cover up nice wood, but nasty wood is a different story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G O B 3,516 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I was hoping that you would put a shoulder stock where tht PG is, and put the PG/triggger mid barrel. A true bullpup OU or SXS is insane. You would sell a bazillion of them! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boba Debt 350 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Well it's done for now. Someday if I have the time I'll make better side plates to cover the action but for now the plates cut from the factory stock wil have to do. I gave it a quick coat of paint which isn't holding up well but it will protect the metal. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
