Win Mod12 Trench Gun Conversion

[Madcap]

I realized how easy it could be to roll the rear edge and add the two dimples so I couldn't resist giving it a shot. A ball peen hammer and the steel pipe easily rolled the rear edge. I learned something else in the process and I'm really pleased with how finished it looks.

A 5/16" hole was drilled into a piece of PVC pipe to capture the dimple as it was pounded in with a drift punch that was ground flat and filed round.

Some Perma Blue was applied and I was surprised how quickly and extremely well the metal accepted it and reacted.

The bow in the shield bothers me but there must be way to deal with it somehow. This is just trial piece anyway so hopefully the next one will be a more improved model.
