Win Mod12 Trench Gun Conversion

[Madcap]

Depending on availability of a friend's shop I hope to get the rivets soldered in this week. On another note, I realized the magazine plug I intended to use is for a M97 and isn't compatible. It's an original so I hope it may not be too hard to find a trade for M12 plug. I'll try a notice in the classified.

I didn't have the chance to do anything further yet. Plumbing and vehicle maintenance got in the way. However, I've been in communication with Tom Wilkinson at "Bull Creek Arms" who has kindly taken time to explain the possible need to shim my barrel before attaching the adapter. This is something I was aware of earlier concerning commercial barrels but had forgotten about it. The military apparently had to do the same thing when they were forced to use commercial barrels to keep up with the trench gun production.

I'll be back with more info soon as I can. Meantime I highly recommend Bull Creek Arms and Tom Wilkinson for any honest, quality work. He totally cleared up the question on the correct original rivet attachment to the adapter which was not silver soldered but traditionally riveted. I may solder mine out of simplicity since it won't appear or make any difference to me.

Getting closer despite the time taken....
