I'd like to put a top folding stock on my Winchester model 12. I'd likely need to make an adapter, I have the old stock, could cut a piece off the front of it, inch or so, or get a buddy to do one in aluminum. Has anyone on here ever tried to put a pistol grip folding stock on a model 12? I know I'm stubborn, but am I also dumb for trying this?
 
I would not cut off a thin slice of end grain wood and expect it to hold up under stress of any kind, especially in the rear of a firearm receiver. make one up by taking measurements & or get someone else to do it - preferably out of aluminum or steel, you might even get away with making it up out of plastic (hey it works for Ar-15 lowers).

Thanks Tony, I've been thinking that myself. Have a couple of machinist buddies at work who can do an aluminum piece for me.
