Awesome. not sure why but that super beefy lug just seems more purposeful than the standard Jessica Rabbit profile. Came out from under the metal glue gun very nicely..View attachment 27226 Small update on my micro shotty. Barrel lug is welded and the receiver weld came out pretty good. Some clean up, function check then off to Cerakote?

In your pic above, with the magpul forend, it covers the entire slide tube. When it is completed, is the forend gonna extend out past the end of the barrel or is it in its fully forward position in the pic, and will come back over the receiver during the ejection stroke? Or is it just there for sh*T’s and giggles until the vertical fore grip gets put on?Showed it to my welder. Said it was a super thin area. Gonna bring it back today and sit with him while he works his magic. Fingers crossed!!! Here’s a pic of the micro pump action I’m building out of a Magpul pump action. Still a work in progress but almost there. Lol

It’s fully forward. I hogged the crap out of the Magpul forend. It will come back and cover the ejection port. I have to mill it still a little to make sure shells eject. It’s a work in process. Once I get it all together I’ll finalize it and get pics. Probably won’t end up using it and using the other grip probably. Can’t get till it till Thursday though. I have to work my real job and finish some honey do mulch projects first. ;-((In your pic above, with the magpul forend, it covers the entire slide tube.

Yeah,I was gonna get one but they haven’t had the gray set in months and it would block my laser. It’s all good.These are kind of cool?

No, I have a modified gray grip on my shockwave. My new forend mods are gray but the rest of the gun is black.Cerakote?
Maybe you can find a cheap F1 forend and have it Cerakoted. Get a slimline laser with a pressure switch to mound on the F1? Just an idea?No, I have a modified gray grip on my shockwave. My new forend mods are gray but the rest of the gun is black.
Maybe some day…but for now, I’m good. LolMaybe you can find a cheap F1 forend and have it Cerakoted. Get a slimline laser with a pressure switch to mound on the F1? Just an idea?
Yes sir, the inside underside came out a little wonky but know one can see that area.The weld came out really good. As I said, it should last a lifetime.
Wait to you see the Micro Magpul Handguard forend I’ve been working on for my Serbu clone. I’ll get pics of it all when it’s back from Cerakote.Sounds like it didn't really hurt to be built up more anyway if it's that thin anyway.
Thank you John. We both (James and I or is it I and James) just lost a true friend last week!! We live in a small town and our buddy Mark passed away last week. Mark was the first “Real” gunsmith/SOT in our town. A people person. 52 years old. To young. We miss him dearly. Sorry for the plug on James but in honor of Marks passing he did this for free so I wanted to compliment his Cerakote job. Life is short. Please love the ones you love!!!I see what you're saying about the magpul forend. There is still a lot of overlap.
But, your buddy James did an impeccable job refinishing it.
