I know it has been about a month since I last updated. I took a little break from the PR but still did some important work. With the summer heat upon us here in SoCal, I paid dearly for that slow month while working in the garage yesterday. First, a photo of my progress:
And, here's a list of what I've done since the last post:
- Install the stock with hardware/spring mechanism so that it can be adjusted
- Cut down the SPAS-12 grip (Still requires shell ejection notch and mounting hole)
- Fine adjustments to the shrouds to allow a tight fit with all components installed
- Trimmed trigger guard of M870 to fit ammo magazine area like the 'Hero' PR
- Completed all cuts in the SPAS-12 cage
- Cut out the LED counter window
Above: a closeup of the shell ejection port, Remington trigger area, and LED counter window. Below: a rear view showing the small spring loaded release nut to allow stock adjustment.
I should have the LED counter hooked up with the batteries mounted soon. It will read '95' when switched on. I'm receiving some crucial parts from DATA over at The Aliens Legacy to connect the SPAS-12 grip to the racking arms of the M870. That should complete my build mechanically. I should be receiving my 'Hero' 8-stripe sling with hardware soon as well. Are we excited yet?

I absolutely love the work you've done. I'm in the final stages of fitting and then painting myself. I have been looking for the paints to use - and think you have them nailed. Could you please let me know what paints you used and how you painted it (aka - spray yourself, multiple coats, etc).
