In reality, it's a basket-case CIL 402, functional but with a rusty barrel and receiver, sans the stock.
Thought it would make an interesting project with the result being my dedicated loaner gun...
Modelled the stock after an 870 trap gun I already have, with the comb shaved down. Used laminated Birch to construct, overall a quick project. Thank God for Google image search, had no idea what an actual CIL 402/ Remington 812 stock actually looked like, around the receiver area....
Still need to do the final shaping, finish sanding and BLO finish. Rubber pad started life on a Browning Auto 5. Will test-shoot to see point of impact and adjust stock comb as needed before continuing any more work. Will get around to rebluing with cold blue, soon.
