Win Mod12 Trench Gun Conversion

how a full length pattern could be made from the incomplete, short stub to include the wider, flared rear portion.

I think I could get that detail from scaling off pictures on the internet.
When I get back to the office tomorrow I’ll do a mock sketch to get an idea on price.
Just the approximate amount of holes, length, etc. That would at least tell us if it’s worth proceeding with a real drawing

If you could tell me the metal thickness and the diameter of the holes, that would be enough to start.

That's very considerate. I have to be away this afternoon but will try to measure the metal thickness and diameter of the holes ASAP.

OK, sorry for the delay. I'm not a machinist and not sure these numbers are correct but this is what I came up with:
Hole Dia = .234 / 15/64"
Metal stock thickness = 0.02"

I'm also going to try asking someone with an actual adapter if they'd be willing to take measurements also.

Thanks for your help and interest -

edit: 15/64 (not 15/16) geez

Unfortunately, the only steel they have that thin is mild steel -- and even then, it's .03" thick, not .02"

That said, based on my rough sketch (2.5" wide, 12.5" long, with 76 evenly spaced .234" holes), the price would be about $12.

Crappy steel that's the wrong thickness but pretty cheap as a stop-gap if needed!

Thanks so much for your help. The concept sounds interesting an for $12 it might be worth a try if you don't mind. If it comes close to looking right maybe whatever might be required to fit it would be worth the effort until something else shows up. What do you think? Let me know what I need to do next.


I'm going to make a pattern based on what your L&W dimensions just to see how it might look.

I'll check back later...

Note the correction on the hole diameter on my measurements above. They measure - .234 or 15/64" is correct - ( not 15/16 where I came up with that I have no idea)
