I built my own Hardwood Home Defense

[Germansheperd]

I took a 42 year old field gun and gave it a new description.

Looks perfect! Did you reblue it?

[Germansheperd]

No the gun was in really good shape. That’s a new Remington barrel and 2 shot magazine tube extension but the receiver is the original bluing.

Added a finishing touch

I use the same sling, except mine is a ratty old tan milsurp. I dispensed with the noise maker that clips on the buttstock swivel, and will be sewing the front loop so I can get rid of the hasp.

Careful that the hasp doesnt jam up your pump. Thats why Im getting rid of it. And it beats up the wood.

[Germansheperd]

Got it. I’ll make sure i loosen the sling up when I go to fire it so nothing is close to the wood.

Looks like a great lil' project!

[Germansheperd]

Thanks it turned out pretty decent. I went through it front to back as usual adding: 18.5” IC barrel, 2 shot ext., aluminum follower, TLR-1 light, sling, swivels, flex-tab conversion kit with a new chrome bolt, Volquartsen extractor, 1100 carrier spring, police sear spring, jumbo big head safety, Mesa Tactical polymer side saddle.
