great work on your Thompson this reminds me on my own alu milled upper & lower for my PR.

Of course you can use the plans - I don`t have any patents pending

Here are some images of the 870 alu dummy :

http://props.steinschneider.com/pulser/ ... tom_01.htm

the function is that the shell feeder ramp is going up`n down as on a real Remington - can`t transport shells but I guess you are the right man to do this

feel free to ask about anything.

Ahoi,
Stephan

PS: if you can cut the bolt handle a bit - it seems a bit too long IMO

Thanks stephan ,what a wealth of information wish i had seen this before i started my build , I think its only right if your going to use or adapt someone elses work for your own use that you should ask permission where ever possible, and i appreciate you getting back to me ,i was concerned about the bolt its to small in diameter as well as too long but i can only work with what i can get and easily modify, my tool kit is realy basic so i cut down a bolt to make mine as the easiest and simplest soloution, there is no problem with shortening it couple of mins with a hacksaw,as with most people on here i think whatever they make becomes a permanent work in progress ,once i have a finished rifle i can change /modify and play about with it forever untill i have it where i want it , this is my first attempt at anything like this and its been a steep learning curve ,teaching myself how to weld has been a fun experience "i have the scars to prove it" thanks once again for the reply and i will drop you a line when i start on my GL, i need all the help i can get cheers mate ,Rob

you did truly an amazing job with your build-up - I still admire your welding skills which I don`t have. Hut ab !

it`s easier to me to mill a whole lower out of a fat alu block LOL

I`d be happy to help you out.

maybe watch out for a M870 trigger assy yet - if you wanna scratch-build it I can help you out with measurements of a real one.

Keep up the excellent work !

Stephan

Looks amazing! Have been following this build and im still in awe

Thank you all for droppin by and takin the time to comment on my stuff its very much appreciated the next part may take some time as i have to work it all out first before i even start to build it, i have a couple of idea's on how to get it to cycle rounds or give the apperance of working just need to do a couple of mock ups to see how to get it all to work, if anyone out there has a correct scale grenade lying about doing nothing consider bunging it my way please a good scale drawing would do ,what diameter is the barrel on a remington ? so many questions so little time cheers once again people , Rob
