hey guys, I finally finished my first gun. after getting the bands put together I realized I cut the but a little short like a chest loader. I'd like to weld a "relief" tab about 8-10" from the main 2. do any manufacturers sell just shark fin style tabs?

Haha. I saw that handle on a picture of another gun and it looked awesome, once I had it in hand I was less than impressed.

If your wondering about the comment boxes, i was struggling with a website to host the images from my iphone, so I just used FB and screen shot them.

I just got back to Michigan and put a few good hours into it. I'll post pictures tonight.

so I guess it's a dog snapper. Thanks for the help guys. by the way it was delicious.

I was convinced it was just a big grey snapper, but some of my friends think otherwise. any opinion?

I'm a riffe dealer as well, I believe I'll have an opportunity to get one in November for a deal too good to pass up. I also plan on the 1.5 steamer digi-tech. keep us updated if you pull the trigger, I'll make sure to do the same.

yep, white margate is the one. I see those, and school masters quite a bit. Do you eat them?
Edit: after a little searching, It appears its a black margate I've been seeing.

The one on the right of the cuda on the right is a dog snapper,
The three fish on the right of the cuda on the left are, yellow jack, a white margate (grunt?) and a schoolmaster snapper.

in the second picture, what species is the fish just to the right of the cuda?

well it's cut to rough size. I'm going to let it sit for a few weeks to watch for warp.

Looks great. Looks wide, is it? or just the camera
yes, it is wide. It still needs to be cut down to final width, but it will be set to match the butt of a Riffe Euro. just under 2".
this is pretty close to final dimensions:
With the gun as wide and high as you are making, make the handle as close to the mech pocket as practical, say 3/16" or so for a handle over mech gun. That will minimize muzzle jump as much as the mass of the gun will. Grinding the trigger with a bench or side grinder is done all the time- just go easy and cool the trigger from time to time as you go to keep from discoloring
I plan on grinding the trigger down roughly half an inch. the mechanism will be much lower than shown in the picture. Is there such thing as being too low? For instance, if the mechanism was touching the grip? I'm trying to keep the gun as short as possible (vertically.) The mechanism is 1" tall, and the base of the grip, which I plan on flush mounting, is about 1/4".

Just need to laminate one horizontally... then it's time to start cutting.

Ordered these. Similar to what hardline has, just comes with a sheath.

The trigger is too long for my set-up. anyone see a problem with me shortening it with an angle grinder? I don't know much about stainless metals.
