Under-barrel feed Sheridan build

[Pumps4ever]

So Awesome, Thank you for sharing!

[Jordan]

Lever and arm - done.



Last thing to do is figure out where I want to install a 12gram changer of some sort... I'm leaning towards a bucket changer in the handgrip portion of the stock.

[Jordan]

The lever is one continuous piece (ok - three separate pieces of metal that have been shaped/welded/shaped).

[Grendel]

Come on, you have to figure out how to use a lever charger, not a bucket charger. That way you have a lever-lever marker.

[Jordan]

Grendel I have a Micro CA that I have thought about using, for that very reason... it might happen.

[Jordan]

A bit more work... I'm still tweaking a few things but it's almost ready to start running the plumbing for a 12gram changer.

I've soldered a feedport cover on one side for now, painted the lever and done a paracord wrap on it, and installed a front blade sight off a Silverstreak.

[JeeperCreeper]

You made the right choice, this thing is way too cool.

[Jordan]

Potential 12gram setup? MicroCA lever changer
(all Grendel's idea 😉) under barrel (or even a bucket changer, really). Short route to the valve, no hoses to leak... minor mods to the stock.

This beauty is gonna throw glorious plumes!

[Grendel]

I like it

A line si lever changer would be smaller

[Jordan]

A line si lever changer would be smaller

A lot of changers would be smaller... this is what I have on hand, though.

The upside is that by building it with a regular ASA I have options.

[Loophole]

Beautiful work Jordan!

[Jordan]

Thanks man! It's coming together well so far.

[Jordan]

For Grendel - the double lever lever action. (Twice the lever action, twice the fun! ™)



Almost done - couple little things to tweak or clean up.

[Jordan]

Grendel not yet. I'm not finished all the hotwork quite yet, so I just have it mocked up for now.

[Grendel]

Understood and great progress

[XEMON]

Shit, ive been accumulating parts to do something similar, but this is coming out better than ill probably ever be able to do!
This is soo cool!

[Jordan]

Preeeeettyy much done now... I'm toying with the idea of a lugged rail along the top, like some of my other builds, but I'm going to leave it alone for now.






I've ordered a CCI bucket changer to replace the temporary BE 12-gram changer on there right now. The MicroCA will likely stay off, it's more bulky than I like (sorry, Grendel 😉).



Feedport cover opened:





The springfeed slot ended up on the right, with the feedport and cover on the left... the barrel tip is retained with my usual method, a section of brass tube that's been cut in sections, one threaded for the retaining screw, and both bits soldered to their respective tubes.

[Cal440]

Wow that is a very cool setup Jordan, nice job once again!

[Grendel]

No worries it was just an idea

[Jordan]

Cal440 - thanks bro!

Grendel - definitely a good idea, I'm going to grab an ICD changer at some point and try it out.

[Jordan]

I'm going to cut and reglue the butt of the stock as well, so I haven't bothered refinishing the stock yet... you can see the cut lines I drew on the stock, the plan is to cut a wedge out and reglue/pin with dowels to create a drop stock with minimal mods.



I did something similar to my KP2 and it was extremely comfortable to use once done.

[Jordan]

Preliminary test results are... promising.

I realized last night I forgot about putting a detent in... and was kicking myself today for forgetting about it because I really wanted to try it out.

Then a thought struck me - DSGs don't use a detent and the setup is practically the same, so I gave it a try. Zero double feeds (or triple feeds, something my side-tube Hurricane will do if I forget the detent when reassembling) - maybe because it's going straight up?

I ran a tube of paint through it and it works. Too well. First shot out the barrel was 399FPS, and the rest slowly worked their way down the scale.

But it works! 🙂 (Not that I doubted myself. Nope. Not one bit.)

I've got the stock in surgery - no shots until it's fully recovered, it might scare the purists among us - but that's the last thing to do, I think.

[Grendel]

Congratulations!

[BigRed]

Another great build Jordan! Curious to see what the stock looks like when you’re finished.

[Jordan]

I can give you a peek, BigRed...

It needs a bit more shaping, lots of sanding, and then stain/poly, but this is basically it:

[BigRed]

That looks great! Should help with mask clearance…do you wear a Flex?

[Jordan]

Yeah, a Flex is the only way even with the drop and cheek clearance I made

[Swedgin!!]

Great Googa Mooga!

[Ecapnation]

Love this build.....

Definitely need a better lever in my life
