So I won a cheap Stevens/Coast to Coast pump gun (267/77) here: gunbroker

Pics as soon as I get it. Bluing is uneven so I will be refinishing it along with the wood.

Heat shield/Bayonet lug from Numrich Gun Parts.
Bayonet from Sarco
Sling swivel from Numrich
Sling from my spares (I have a couple M1903 slings)

Should be a fun project and I'll end up with a servicable trench gun at less than half the cost of a military shotgun.

I have a 97 in a box in parts--need a stock set. In line with the other projects.

Yeah, man, 'twould be cool. I thought of getting a new unfinished set then molesting it with pine tar. In line with other projects, so still open.

How it starts:

This is what it will look like, mostly. Forgrip will be a corncob.

Where does one source that bayonet attachment?

ErikO · #9 Post by **ErikO** » Wed Apr 03, 2019 8:25 pm

Numrich has these: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/813820
ALso, there are these guys who make them and sell them in the white: http://www.partsforantiqueguns.com/index2.html

As for the M1903 bayonets, those can be sourced on Amazon for under $100.

Definitely scratching an itch I forgot I had...

Wow. I wish my Maverick 88 had a bayonet lug.

I am so glad I never bought a shotty with a sub-22" barrel.

Came close a few times. I should be cutting that 28" down by mid-May.

This has hit me every spring for almost a decade now. Took me to now to look beyond the Remington and Winchesters to the Stevenses.

I have shot many a Stevens and I was not disappointed. One of my regrets is selling a Stevens 20 Ga. Side by Side.

That Maverick 88 is probably my favorite pump 12 GA to shoot. And it was cheap, too.

I should be into this project for less than $500 when done.

As far as trench guns go, that sounds like a real bargain!

ErikO · #19 Post by **ErikO** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 7:39 pm

Yep, not a real one but real enough.

ErikO · #20 Post by **ErikO** » Wed Apr 24, 2019 11:00 pm

...FedEx emailed my tracking number to me. Should be at my FFL on Monday. Means I should get it either some night next week or a week from Saturday.

...And Curtis Sports was actually home when it came in today and I got it after work.

I can only improve the value of this $100 shotgun. lol

Hack-saw in the lean-to and spray some rattle-can BBQ paint. Fashion the heat-shield from a cookie-pan with tin-snips and a drill. You can be in-n-out for under $250 if creative!
Wooo-doggie!

ErikO · #24 Post by **ErikO** » Sat May 11, 2019 6:05 pm

Barrel cut, crowned and rebluing is curing now. Heat shield will be ordered in two weeks but the rear sling loop will be here on Monday.
