I am also not set on green, I have even thought dark blue, maybe grey or silver. I just want something different, but not ugly as hell.

I am finally back on my A5 build. Last night I finally got to bead blast my receiver and a few parts to get started. Damn this thing has been apart for a while. I picked up a chopped up barrel in Texas for 100 bucks. It was hard to find someone that cut up a 3 inch magnum barrel. This was a vent rib that someone cut the rib off and mounted a Lyman adjustable choke. It is actually kinda cool. Here are a few pictures, The before picture is not that good but you can see the rust, it was not as deep as I thought, thank god. This thing is one solid chunk of steel.

And here is the furniture I got from Champion. It is actually pretty nice and solid, and will fit both light twelves and 3 inch magnums. The stock seems a bit short, but we will see how it turns out. I sure wish they had made it a little longer and let the end user cut it if needed. It sure is easier to cut off, but not so easy to add on.

Looking sharp!
Are there any older semiauto shotguns with tang safeties? Or reversible trigger guard safeties? I too would love a project gun, not interested in just going out and buying a Mossberg 930.

The early A5s had a safety that was in front of your trigger finger, I think they stopped that sometime in the 30s or 40s, then they went to a reversible safety. All you have to do is buy the left side one from brownells for 15 bucks. I see these often at cabelas for 400 or so. They had a ton today, most of them nice. A few Remington versions. This gun has been fun and is a little bit of a momento to my dad and grandpa.

Thanks! The only semiauto shotgun I have was my dad's and I don't want to Bubba it into a HD gun.

Hopefully this will be of better fit, finish, and quality than a Bubba could muster.

A word of caution of the mini HVLP gun that comes in those 6 color kits...they don't last long. I blew out the tips after 2&3 guns when I first got started.

Holy necrothread Batman. Wow. Life gets ahold of you and won’t let go. This damn thing has been in a box for 7 years, I can’t believe all the parts were there. When I found out a buddy was doing duracoat, I saw it as a sign to get this thing done. Here are a few pictures. It’s finally done and ready for some test fires.
