KP-P68SC conversion, Need your guidance

LUKE · 06-13-2007, 06:41 AM

Ok, I've got all the parts (I think) are necessary. One old blue streak stock, One trigger group, One P68SC (and a DF P68AT just in case).

Anyone familiar with the general requirements for making a KP conversion? Does the front of the stock need to be shortened a certain length, or a new pump rod need to be acquired? Are there any tricks to keeping it mounted in the stock? Any special holes to be drilled (I'm thinking the rear of the bottom tube might need small holes for the trigger group, but I could be wrong) Any other general wisdom you'd like to impart upon me?

If anyone has a pic of a similar completed project, I'd love to see it, just to know what direction I'm headed in. Thanks!

Which style trigger group is it? If it's the newer style I can walk you through it,I've never done one with the older style

LUKE · 06-13-2007, 11:20 AM

Older trigger style, with the "push to fire" type button thing in the middle. Don't remember which was the more desireable variety...that one or the slide selector type. But, it looks like it could work.

The rocker safety is more desirable... the push butten.. well you have to move your thumb out of the way to pump it... then move it back on to the safety to fire.

But you can get it to work.

If you want the rocker safety trigger set, I have one here I can sell you.

On the push safety, you could just remove it. I think u need a mounting nut like in the KP's to secure body to the stock.

im working on a bolt action with similar issues...i secured the trigger group to the valve tube with a couple of 6-32 screws similar to the way a backbottle mounts, then drilled a hole in the front of the stock to match up to the nutsert screw...im thinking of drilling a hole in the very back of the trigger group and securing the tail end with a wood screw into the stock...also, i had to mod the hammer to match the trigger sear (i wasnt willing to cut on the trigger/sear to make it match the hammer, felt like i would be committing a sin :-P )...can put some pics up of the project so far...

I'd definitely be interested in seeing how your project is coming together, chplnstone. I've had thoughts of making this a bolt action instead of a pump....saw a mauser bolt action kit advertised at Cabellas for about $16 that might work great.

here goes...p-68 sc barrel and d/f, bacci;pgp valve body, shmavistime; trigger assembly, gabe...i made the bolt out of 3/4 aluminum rod, a file, and a lot of time (and a little dremeling

)...stock i made out of unknown wood, probably poplar, and theres a pic of the underside showing the mounting screw hole behind the tank...i need to do another sand-and-finish tomorrow, then ill install the trigger guard...i was worried that the one 8-32 screw wouldnt be strong enough to hold it together, but it isnt moving at all, may leave it that way...too bad this thing has to go to ebay, low on dough
