That looks great mate. I'd leave it as is if I'm honest. You don't want to take too much wood away from the screw.

In two minds weather to bandage it or not :/ was intended to be a book of Eli inspired look!

@coz jus had a look at your pick mate looks good, i considerer the Raptor biredshead but felt it was abit to tactical for me :/ not the look i wanted, aslo what will you bandage with im thinking of using this, that iv seen used by other bikers i know (but on a shotty could look great)

Re: 870 sawn off project-- birds head grip

I don't do tactical, Me doing tactical would be like putting an Elephant in camo and telling it to sneak up on a mouse.

I did look at that stuff, I think i will be wrapping mine in hockey tape, don't know if to go with white/cream so it takes on the dirt from my hand and looks nice and Apocalyptic or one of the many crazy colored camo's/pattern's you can get.

Found a way to sling it yet? I'm not a fan of single point's as they push my moobs up i look like a hairy victoria secret model. I am thinking of wrapping some rope around the grip to make a 2 point.

Re: 870 sawn off project-- birds head grip

id thin it a tad and make sure its weighty enough to balance the shotgun a bit

Re: 870 sawn off project-- birds head grip

Why not para cord wrap the handle with some light colored cord and allow it to dirty, would be more durable.
Did this to my AK to provide a better grip for sweaty hands, and I thought it looks cool.

I would advise against that heat wrap. I had to wear gloves to wrap my old manifold with the stuff as you end up with bits stuck in your hands!

Re: 870 sawn off project-- birds head grip

@coz thats hilarious, yeah hockey tape is a thort! as for sling mount i may put a Magpul grip sling mount on it but its gonna be a lot of work making it fit!! or maybe just drill a hole and epoxy a swivel point in the end of the grip not sure yet magpul_870_sling_mount_1298729_1_og.jpgsgsm.jpg1-inch-qd-sling-swivel-6727-p.jpg964547.jpg

A how to for ya, but it needs wrapping a lot tighter than this guy does that way it looks more uniform.
