That’s a fantastic job! Can’t expect much better. Did you end up Tigging it?
Did anyone get to the bottom of the double safety’s? The reason I ask is I looked at two Auto 5’s today at my LGS and sure enough one had two...

I don’t know what kind of equipment you have access to or if you have a good fabricator in your area but I would make a round plug that is about 1/8...
Can’t say I have the answer but you ask a good question. From my experience that small but definite thump of recoil is necessary.
Justin that is a beautiful Auto 5. I know you said it may have some wood issues but try not to change that look if you fix them. In my car circles we...

Justin, thats a beauty. Whats the scoop on it? Did you do the wood and if so is that Art's Red?
Thanks for the advice on the red pad. I really don't like pads on guns but I know I don't have a choise here. Any attempt to add wood to the end of...
