PART 2 - 20 Gauge Sawed Off Shotgun - Staining My Short Barrel Shotgun

[@danjames5552]

You should fill that gap with a nice bit of Blue John !!! Its a stone found only in one place in the world in England ,American presidents used to collect it and it's not to expensive !!! And swing as your other half does all that type of thing ,it should be a cake walk ! And hello from England ,󾓪󾓦󾓪󾓦󾓪󾓦󾓪󾓦󾓪󾓦󾓪󾓦󾓪󾓦󾓪󾓦

That came out nice, I was wondering if you rounded out the hole how a 12 ga shell brass would look, if not maybe a rawhide laced leather wrap, just a thought. And a hidden laser sight in the fore-end would be cool and usefull, looks like you have the room. Btw: if you ever do a sight job again, check with Brownells, they use to have a shotgun bead site kit for around $10, two beads, and the correct drill and tap, it made the job easy.

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

Thanks for the tip on the sight kit!! I like the leather wrap idea.

[@CarAudioInc]

looks good man

[@sonnybedez7040]

This came out great, and with tools every one as at home

[@tumbo1984]

make a brass plug...will look much nicer or maybe try setting a coin in there

[@johnwayne7476]

Pewter looks nice.

[@edwardpedley7582]

A nice piece of turquoise or malachite would look unique as a plug to hide the screw.

[@MrChalupaMonkey]

looks amazing man!! I just put in my paper work in to start my SXS build.

[@johnsonpink6002]

If ypu go to a national park they have penny elongator/stretcher machines that imprint a logo in the penny like black bears, mountains, etc. Looks like it would fit the hole/gap.

Beautiful job!

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

+DreadnoughtMoto Thank you!!

[@sizzlersshop8338]

The hole is an easy fix. get some veneer of the same type of wood as the butt using a very good sharp chisel, cut a 1 inch strip wide or so off the back of the butt handle from the top to the bottom of your new handle, 1/25 th inch like the veneers thickness and sand the cut area to a smooth finish. Maybe a bit wider depending on the hole size. Secure you would plug you made with some filler. Gorrilla glue the veneer and clam it in place. make sure your veneer is tight to the sides of the original cut so it blends in with the wood grain. Sand and fill with oil based wood filler only. Then stain it as you want, and rub it with a danish oil. If its done right, you wont even know it had a screw there and the handle will be perfect.

[@joeg9015]

I did one before and used an old cork to plug the hold. You can get a larger one and easily cut it down to size needed and it should stain up the same color and then you can remove it at anytime with a corkscrew in-case you need to change out the stock.

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

Thats a good idea. And their are plenty of wine corks at my house! Thanks for watching!!

[@MrFlbradley]

nice job man !! i want one like this

[@johnsonpink6002]

Beautiful job. You should try to get a brass piece made for the hole and butt, just like how they used to have a club end.

[@yourputer]

I liked your videos before you mentioned the walking dead, but now I love'em man. I have to get my fix of twd man!

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

+Lou G Yep! Its a great show! I am glad to live here in Ga where they film it. I Actually see some of the cast at one of the ranges I go to. Thanks for watching!!

[@rockbalboabarbosachagascha2308]

Belíssimo trabalho!!

[@RobertBuckinghamTh.D.]

NICE!!!!!

[@redneckrockstar9020]

Eli had a shockwave dude or some type a small 870 not a double barreled hammer shotgun Haha

[@lifted0422]

Could u maybe fit some kind of a coin in the hole or maybe a stone like a onyx depends on the curve I guess and then epoxy over it to fill in the gap and make it flush with the grip

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

Not a bad idea! My wife makes jewelry on the side. I will get with her maybe get points by taking an interest in her hobby for a minute! Thanks, gonna check into it. Maybe like a Tigers Eye or something!!

[@Lighthawk_Demon]

longdread575 No, make it a skull instead! That would be so cool. Reminds me of a pirate flintlock almost. :-)

[@Acts-ms6vr]

This is straight up gangsta!!! Very nice...

[@throttlegoblinfpv]

make would shavings from the stock wood then mix it with glue and you just be able to fill in the hole with it

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

+Chevy P Good idea!! Thanks for watching!

[@throttlegoblinfpv]

No problem its definately a nice shotgun.i.ended up using a cutoff wheel on my angle grinder

[@throttlegoblinfpv]

When i did my single barrel shotgun

[@throttlegoblinfpv]

Was really quick

[@luckyluciano4075]

Love your shortened shotgun!! Do a video shooting it! I'd appreciate it? as well as many will!

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

Take a look around, I should have a couple of videos of this shotgun in action. I also have some vids on Instagram of it. Thanks for watching

[@luckyluciano4075]

longdread575 Oh, OK.

[@realgunsforeveryone]

Making a sawed off shotgun while watching the walking dead. Does it get any cooler than that?

[@codylefler4622]

New sub, this is badass

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

Thanks for the sub!! I love this shotty!! Appreciate the support.

[@ginosartor8975]

Cut a piece off the stock that you cut off of the shotgun it should match up

[@buster1173]

It was a man that used to make these stocks but I can't find his website anymore

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

great job on the sawed-off I am not familiar with the sxs shotgun is that the chinese-made 1 I saw one at my local Dunham's for 125

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

SXS Shotgun means side by side shotgun. But it is a chinese made shotgun - it is a Century Arms JW-2000 Coach Shotgun Imported from China by Century Arms. If you can find one of these for $125, I would snatch it up quickly!!

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

Ok thank you i will pick them up today

[@XxTypicalxUsernamexX]

Great work, I remember you said you used a dowel, is there a reason you're keeping the rest of the stock? If not, i'd just cut a chunk out of it and carve a plug to fill the hole, then the color would definitely match.

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

+XxTypicalxUsernamexX Yes! Thats what I tried to do in the beginning of the video. I cut a chunk out of the stock and tried to shape it to fit the screw hole. It didnt work out as I envisioned. LOL! My woodworking skills arent as good as I think they are! The dowel fit almost perfectly but I couldnt get the different woods to match. Anyways, I just left it as is, I havent given it much thought since! The rifle is one of favorites though!! Thanks for watching

[@XxTypicalxUsernamexX]

Ohhh okay, when I was watching I saw the piece you cut out of the stock and thought "Why'd he do that?" I guess it didn't register with me when you said why lol, awesome that you're happy with it though, less work to do and less frustration if it doesn't turn out right again :)

[@mikeoneil5741]

shaping that piece freehand would be difficult, but you could probably find a 3/4 plug cutter.

[@crazy4tat2s]

wrap the grip with leather sleeve would look cool

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

+Barry Arnold Thats a good idea!! I may look into that!

[@MrFukinitupagain]

How does it shoot? It's gotta be easier than a sbs in 12 gauge. Any chance we get a video of you shottin' that bad boy?

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

Oh yea! It shoots great!! So glad I went 20 gauge over 12 gauge. Slugs are the best, they leave the barrel with a big ball of fire at the end! I will get footage soon, Still need a camera man during the work week! LOL

[@mrgrivers1]

paint the plug black

[@seanmwhite121708]

I'm thinking of doing the same exact thing how'd you cut the stock and how does it shoot

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

+sean white I used a band saw to cut the stock and then I used a sander to shape it into a birds head style grip. Then finished the grip with some 150 and 300 grit sandpaper. It shoots great, I should have a short video on my channel somewhere of us shooting it.

[@shortbusoperations8513]

+longdread575 I know I'm late to the party but what about a leather wrap around the grip? It might help with recoil maybe add a cool factor if done right. You could still use the plug. Just a thought but I love the build.

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

Good idea, Never did anything else to the stock but I really like the leather wrap idea.

[@shortbusoperations8513]

longdread575 check this out, I would do the laces in to cover the plug as well as give you almost a stippling on the front to grip on to, and I imagine you could even space out the laces for finger grooves and pack something rubber in there for extra padding shutupnerds.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Grip1.jpg

[@josho5108]

great job Sir. is it at all possible to fashion a plug from the old buttstock?

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

Probably could work. As it sits now, I dont even address it anymore. Its just cosmetic and I dont even notice it really. Also if I would ever need to remove the stock again it wouldnt be a problem. FYI: This shotgun is still one of my favorites in my collection. Thanks for watching

[@1975acidburn]

Epoxy and saw dust

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

+1975acidburn Thanks! I may try that

[@jermur8053]

Cut a peace out of the stock, that way the stain will come out the same.

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

maybe use an old silver coin to finish off the butt stock

[@longdread575outdoorculture]

I havent done anything with the end yet and I probably wont. Its not an issue anymore. Just going to leave it as is. Still a fun little shooter. Thanks for watching
