Angled “loadbearing” surfaces, and light weight add up to a problem.
I had an idea about anfolding stock. First goto was a rem 870 grip.
Tough to marry the two! HELP!
Angles are weird, counterbore for nuts is a nail biter. Im trying to figure how to epoxy in aluminum inserts for stress relief.

Different direction.
Bullpupish

Not a real bullpup.
More of a shortened stock.
A 6” buttstock keeps my trigger hand and arm close to my body for support, and should move the lever forward enough to be easily reached, and cycled.
-
More work needed to git it to fit.

chek out some of the shotgun AR stock/grip setups.....

yeah, that's where the drawings came from. I have one.
The walls would be thin, angular, and weird. Bolts from two different systems would be ovelapping unhappily.
Aluminum would be the only material i would trust to not crack, and im not buying a forge and mill just for this.
Too bad, it would have been neat!

I'll post a photo of it closer to completion, this evening.
I am pumping the pressure-tube back up to pressure, cause technically it is shootable.
As ugly as a platypus, or an electric pick-up truck, but able to launch a pebble, nonetheless.

So the inletted fore-stock is white oak, the quick thumbhole grip is glued on maple - it fits, and works, so i just need to put it away, or use it, until I can recarve it out of one piece. Needs some design work, too.
But the short buttstock, and forward scope mount gives a tight stance. A semi-bull-pup?

Painted for now. Still needs lots if wood removal - next year ...
