The 1377 Project, The Buttstock, Part 9
This will be the last 1377 post for a while, I want to move on to other subjects while I mull over what needs to be completed in the conversion.
I need a knurled screw for the stock slider lock. Drilling for a press fit on a #8 SHCS.
Knurling.
Cutting a shoulder.
Parting off.
Ready to press onto a screw.
Pressing matters.
Here it is with the stock retracted.
And the stock extended.
I need to learn how to take better pictures of rifles, when I get closer to being completely done I'll take some larger shots...
All that's left is maybe some new grips, some sort of sight although I may just keep the red dot sight, maybe a brass safety button, and some finishing on the aluminum bits. I don't know if I'll anodize, paint or just polish/finish the bare aluminum. We'll see. I also need to take some of the slop out of the pump linkage, it's a bit wiggly.
All that remains of the original 1377 is the grip frame, pump linkage, safety, sear, trigger, tube, grips (more or less, these came off of a 2300), hammer and hammer spring. This has certainly been a fun first modification project.

Great improvements! A lot of work done!
Some time ago i had some ideas to modify my 1377 too, and your skills and axamples are fine to help me with some things, but unfortunately I no longer have acess to machines to built my ideas.
I hunt with my 1377c, by professional needs (I'm a zoologist, so I have to catch some fast-running or tree-climbing lizards), and I always prefeered scoped pistols to do my job simply because a carbine is too heavy and large to carry under jungle and its lianas all day long.
My idea is to keep the pistol as short as possible, but with a new "front sight-barrel support-pivoting pump axis (all-in-one) piece", and a tiny fake "muzzlebrake" just for aesthetic purposes, since I don't want to change my original (very good) barrel. I have some drawings of it, that I can share, if you have interest.
Thank you for your techniques and examples!
