I recently sent off a Form 1 to cut a Stevens 530A SxS 12ga down to around 10” and reconfigure the stock into a pistol grip, ala “Mad Max”. Highly impractical, but I’ve always wanted one and it’ll be a range toy.
Cutting the barrels down and filling in the cavity between the barrels will be no problem; I’ve done those before, although never below 18.5”.
What I’m wondering about is cutting the stock down to a pistol grip only. The stock bolt attaches the stock to the frame. When I cut it down, I don’t want a big hole in the back of the grip where my palm goes. I want to get rid of the stock bolt completely. I can cut the excess stock away, fill in the hole, and shape it, but then how would you go about attaching it to the frame?
Here is an example of what I want to do.
Thank you for your recommendations.
