I know I'm a little late for my 2 cents but here it is. I like the duracoat job, I may use that one on mine. Here is a pic of what I have so far.I used a Remington 1100 scope mount so I can still have iron sights for shorter distances.

Sounds like a good deal on the pump. The pawn shops around here are way out of line on prices and wont budge, probably why they dont sell much. I just finished a Winchester 1902 single shot .22 and am working on sporterizing a Mosin Nagant. Next project is an Arisaka type 38 that I picked up for $125. Have fun with the Turkington.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it. I was leaning to the Duracoat products in some kind of camo pattern. I picked up a Tapco AR 15 pistol grip today and got started shaping it. I'll post a pic when I have it on. Thinking about an angled forearm grip lately as well. Some days I can't quite get my hands in the right position for a good shot.

I'm new to this forum so consider this an introduction. I enjoy restoring old firearms but this is different. I bought this at a gun show with the ATI stock poorly fitted. The idea was to turn it in to a MOA shooter for under $200. At this point I'm at $130 including the $100 i paid for the rifle (not counting labor of course). The scope on it will be replaced with a 6x german scope that I got for $20 NIB at a gun show. Scope mount was modified from a Remington 1100 shotgun. I made the bolt handle to work better with my arthritis. Cut the barrel down to 24" and re crowned. Almost ready to shoot. I still want to do a pistol grip. Any ideas on a finish are appreciated.
