Nice job on the strap, that's exactly what this unit needs.
I'd probably run a sex bolt for the front instead of a screw but that will keep your hand from the danger zone and also help breaking it open! Well done.

Our Government trusts rivets more then law abiding gun owners.
Thanks Can-down. Agree that the front should have been a sex bolt (/ ~Chicago screw) like the one at the back. I did root around for one, then got impatient and used what was on hand. I might replace it later with a sex bolt by enlarging the hole to accept the barrel nut.
Funny, the short buttstock is one of the things I like most, and why I am currently favouring keeping my "defect" model over the other one. And the back of the palm on my support hand is literally touching the trigger guard when I shoulder it so I'm not sure what practicality the strap serves, seems unnatural to put my hand that far forward, but to each their own I guess. I'm still having a hard time deciding which one to keep though.
Haha, no. Good point. My 12" XO12 is quite reasonable with low-recoil slugs and buck as well as mini-shells though, so I am hoping for a similar experience. But I don't like firing heavy loads even in a hunting-length shotgun, so I don't plan on testing the fortitude of my shoulder with these little guys either.
When I shouldered mine I found it really hard to not have one of the corners of the butt pressing into either the top or the bottom of where I had it shouldered, ended up biting me a bit when I had it in a bad spot and didn't have a great grip on my forend. I'm making a strap for mine today.
I've decided to sell my "nice" one. That way if I bubba up my defect model I won't feel so bad LOL.
I have one of the "nice" ones. Besides shaking all that hidden Turkish sand out after shooting it for the first time, it was a blast (literally). Put one of those Decelerator butt pads on it. Added an extra squishy inch for LOP. Shot 7.5, 6, 5, 4, 00 and some low velocity slugs. A longer stock would make it perfect, but, thats just a first world complaint. Love it and will be out again with it this week to try 3" shot/slugs and see how my shoulder handles it...
Any chance of short barrels, double triggers, full stock, ejectors and a steel receiver?
