590 shockwave wood furniture

The heat shield was not made for a thick wall barrel, so the hard part was getting it on. Cut to length leaves one mounting tab left put a longer bolt with nuts on the in side of tab tighten one loosen the other to spread the front of the heat shield a little jb weld cut the bolt and nuts out, cut the other tab off and it is really tight.

You Sir are a magician. My hat is off to you!
 
You know how they say "imitation is the finest form of flattery"... I have no idea what I'm doing with the woodworking aspects. Just found an old corncob set on ebay and figured I'd give it a try. Fun way to learn wood shaping and staining. Thanks again for sharing, Ranfunk!

It looks much nicer than my black plastic pistol grip set. I will probably do the same sort of job on my 500 Cruiser.

I find woodworking very relaxing unless I am forced to hurry. It's the sort of thing that you simply can't hurry.

Did you find a short forend or did you have to cut it down? Mine was a long one I cut down and rework the inside of the front end. Make sure your grip comes out long enough.

The online description wasn't great on the stock I bought. I could tell it was for a 500 with dual action arms, so I figured I could make it work regardless. It was 8" overall, so I had to cut it down and dremel out the front end. Also had to widen the rear a bit to accommodate the thicker barrel profile. Lots of sanding, fit testing, sanding, fit testing, sanding ad-nauseam.

I purposefully cut the buttstock a little long so it gives me some leeway while I sand it to the shape I want while hitting 26" OAL.
 
By necessity the 14" guns use the 'short' 6 3/4 forends. So the police corncob forends will have to be cut down as the other posters mentioned.

The old wood stocks really take a stain well. I did one the other week for the first time using Wood Conditioner. Really impressed.

Did you use a clear coat to finish it? you will need one. If you don't like the shine, knock it down with 0000 steel wool.
and I always, well most of the time, use the conditioner. It keeps the blotching to a minimum...
 
"Classic look", really reminds even more of the original "Witness Protection" models in the mid-1980s, by Scattergun Technologies for the Marshall's Service. Well done!
