Win Mod12 Trench Gun Conversion

[Madcap]

Thanks for posting the photos. The heat shield looks like it came out great....did you have it blued or do it yourself?

How long has it been since you received the adapter and shield from East Taylor? I'm wondering if he makes them all flat between the holes. Seems like they should be made with the proper radius to start with. I think he would use the same gauge as the originals and same process to bend them. It'll be whatever when it shows up and I'll deal with it then.

I took the flat shields over to a couple shops today but they couldn't do anything. There's one more shop that was recommended but if he can't round them then I'll need to come up with my own method.

Right now I need to rout out the inlet for the rear sling swivel. The center is layed out but I need to confirm the measurement from the end of the stock with the buttplate removed.
Somebody I read said it was 3-1/2" then another said 4"....I'd like to be certain.

What did you cut yours at? If you or anyone else could confirm the correct measurement please let me know. I was going to use a 3/8" router bit and then cut the finished edge with a razor knife or X-Acto blade.
