This project was pretty simple… This old LC Smith shotgun had a lot of character… but the 30 inch barrels were dented out toward the end of the barrel… The butt plate was shattered…. I had the barrels professionally cut to 18.5 inches.. and had a Decelerator pad added…. It made it a good home.. self defense weapon… Sorry I didn’t take any before pics… I know others have had lever gun and AR projects…etc…

Nice looking old shotgun there Keg.

Think we can classify this as a project?
1967 Rem 700 action (originally in .243 win)
Threw a TT diamond in about 4 months ago
Still wasn’t shooting like I wanted so upgraded to a H-S Precision stock
Performance was still middle of the road, 1” at best…
Barrel came about a month ago, decided to go with 6XC just to be boujee
Was shooting FANTASTIC, just wasn’t quite as ergonomic as I’d like…. New stock time!
Now she sits in a MDT ACC and shoots like an absolute DREAM! Next on the pipeline is a Razor G3….. presuming the wallet doesn’t cry too terribly much!

I had a similar project right when covid hit. I picked up a Smith & Wesson 12 ga pump with a 28 inch barrel on Gunbroker for $60. Exterior of the barrel had pitting and the recoil pad was toast.
I cut the barrel down to 19 inches with a hacksaw, faced it off even and took it down to 18.5 on a friend's mill and put a new bead on it.
Put a new recoil pad on it and it's now my dedicated truck gun. I don't think I have $120 in this project.
