So after my Hurricane came in, all shiny and new... my ol' KP was feeling a bit jealous . After 3yrs of use, she had gotten pretty beat up. Her stock was refinished about 2yrs ago, but now needed refinishing again. I had other thoughts in mind .

Instead of chopping such a nice stock that just needed re-oiling, I sold her off to Jimbo, and then picked up a really gross KP stock off Ebay. This thing was truly in a fire at one point! The whole right side was black and raised, and smelled like burnt wood! First I sawed off the butt end, that was in really bad shape. Fully sanded the now pirated stock, from heavy grit down to fine grit, until I had her perfect. Even had a little bone nub esq. thing goin on the back bottom o the handle . Finished her off by drilling a hole for the PPS converted Vert ASA, and shaved down the bottom front for the lower bottle bracket adapter.

This is where my "Plasti-Dip" thread chimes in . I sprayed on a first coat, let fully dry/harden for a day. Then three more even coats on three consecutive days. The Spray was a really good idea, and easier than the dip form of the product (less messy too). Made a perfectly smooth Black Coating over the Stock, and it's grippage is fantastic.

and here she is... right in time for PP4, my reborn Palmerized, Pirated, Plasti-Dipped, Sheridan KP2-SF.



More pics in sig.

This KP is probably gonna head back to PPS in the future though, for a fresh new Black Zinc Coating, as well as a fix of her Ring-Ball Detent (currently holding on via black duct-tape, as is visible ).

Still a couple more plasti-dip things I'm working on, and will be pictured soon

Forgot about the newly configured Airline pics. Gonna do the same thing on my Hurricane too. Adding another 90* Macroline Elbow from the Vert ASA, I can get the Macroline itself a lot shorter and tighter. Bit cleaner looking too .

I am looking forward to seeing that in person, my friend. Is the plasti-dip installed in those pics?
Not terrible looking as I would have guessed. It just looks like the overall finish on a really old KP.

I have never been one for pirate-lengthed pumpers (or macroline for that matter) but I am sure you will have no trouble shooting me or anyone else at PP2 with that.

Well.... you will have to sneak up on me (not hard) as if I see you first, my bolt-action actually prefers moving targets to peeking ones.

See you in less than a week.

She is a bit front heavy... as I don't have the butt-end of the stock to balance. Also, the Plasti-Dip is only on the Stock. Her body tubes desperately need a new coating, so probably off to PPS after PP4.

That is the main trouble for me of a stock-less pump. If I have to move a pump handle or even a lever in order to shoot a gun, then it had better be a true pistol or, even better, have a stock on it that I can shoulder and secure the motion.

My shorty pistol style Hurc is fun, but it is either the heaviest hopper fed pistol in the world or it is a rifle that is missing its stock.

Either way, I find it hard to play with.
