I've always loved the clean simple lines of my Series 5, but I wanted to add a bit of class to the old girl.

First step was to change out the old main pump guide to one of CCM's new ones, and take a wee bit off the pump handle (OK, maybe a fair bit)



With the shorter pump handle, the old J&J brass barrel I had on her was about 3 1/2" longer than I would have liked. So into the lathe it went. I parted it off and chamfered the inside edge (the end still needs buffing)




From there I made a new knob for the cocking rod. (this was the first personal piece I made, and the knurling tool slipped and f@#$ed up the knurl. I'll re-do some more of these when I have some time/motivation)



I thought a new bolt pin would add a nice touch, I was going to make it lower profile, but i liked the looks of it and never bothered facing it off.

A new pump rod was in order, drilled for A/T of course.



A new feed neck was a must, but it seemed only appropriate that it still use a CCM collar. I made this one with a smaller inner diameter to accommodate winchester hoppers. (I was also happier with the threads on this one, single point again)



The smallest end mill I had available was 1/8", so instead of the 8 or so fingers i had been planning, there are 4. I was also planning on helical milling, but with the slots being that big, it hardly seemed worth it.



And to round everything off was a shiny, re-bodied torpedo.

Here she is (mostly) complete. In the next couple weeks, I'll do up a brass rail, pump plate, and possibly trigger plate. And either brass or wood panels (likely wood) to finish it off.

Very Nice! I really like it!

Thanks for the props guys. You'll have to excuse the fact that most of the brass is tarnished, I didn't get a chance to tear everything apart and polished since I last played with it.

Very nice Grimm....I like all the brass additions, you also think about brass screws? I like the brass trigger plate idea as well....you have to accessorize your babies and they will show off for you at the fields!!!

Very nice work. She looks very classy
I think one of the new t pump handles would look very nice on this
