I've fumble-fingered this post twice now and I'm pissed. Hate writing something and then losing it.... Ted: Thank you for the offer of the lefty Williams safety. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](http://i.imgur.com/8y0wLRzh.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](http://i.imgur.com/h5CEKgoh.jpg) Not entirely beautiful but... fully functional now. I'll go get the front half of it back and shoot it this week. We'll see what comes next after that.

![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](http://i.imgur.com/BrEKperh.jpg) How do you get the plugs to match?

Ozone or UV light will age rubber.

Shot the gun yesterday before this latest winter storm. I'm as rusty a pumper as the gun is, but it worked (& fit me) flawlessly. A bit more choke would be nice, but IC is as good as it's going to get now. There were a bunch of leftover cock pheasant running around the parking lot at the club (and we were all alone because of the impending storm). Sorely tempting with a slick ole' M12 in hand... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](http://i.imgur.com/yl5sruXh.jpg) I've kept the original butt plate in case I have to relinquish control of this one (allowing it to fit folks of a smaller stature). Hoping that doesn't happen.

IC is perfect for that gun. You are a grouse hunter, eh? If you want more choke, just shoot #4’s at those pheasants and they won’t know what hit them.
Socialism is almost the worst.

How do you get the plugs to match? Used motor oil. JR
Be strong, be of good courage.
God bless America, long live the Republic.

Joe: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Buzz: Mod would be a bit more useful overall, but IC will be just fine (way-more useful than full would've been).
Skeettx: Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it.
Mr. Roberts: Great idea! I'm going to try some mineral spirits on it first (to try to lighten-up the back of the pad) but if that doesn't do the job, we've got lots of leaky old vehicles around here that can supply the dirty motor oil required.
Moreover, since I might now have two firearms needing short 16s, I've negotiated a deal for a lightly-used MEC reloader that's all set up for 16-gauge 2 1/2-inch shells. More of an insurance policy than an actual necessity at the moment, but you just never know...
