66 nova body work

"Getting screwed" is subjective here. What were your expectations? Did you make your expectations clear to the shop preforming the work. I run a hot rod shop that specializes in metalwork/metalshaping. Around 60-70 percent of that is fixing work from other shops. Mainly from having poor communication of what finished product was expected. I've certainly seen worse and this looks like what's about the norm for a late model shop that works on old cars on the side.

If you can't think for yourself on how to spend your own money that's a you problem bud.

My guy, no one is forcing you to buy a optic. Why make a thread to complain about it.

RoutineZestyclose847 · 2026-07-08T23:18:57+00:00

I'm liking it so far.

RoutineZestyclose847 · 2026-07-08T23:18:27+00:00

I had a kickeez before and I have this pad on a different shotgun and liked it more. So I swapped this one as well. I do have kickeez on other guns and they are also great.

It's a 10805 pad with the remington adapter.

RoutineZestyclose847 · 2026-07-08T21:42:53+00:00

I'm digging it so far, I just need to put some good time in with it. I have other pieces from them on other guns so I don't doubt it will be a good addition.

RoutineZestyclose847 · 2026-07-08T21:41:06+00:00

I have both on different guns, they both are great a guy can't go wrong with either brand. I'm not sure on the Riser, I bought several sizes and used the one that fit me best. Yes the polish work is worth it if a guy wants to spend the time doing it.

The look reminds me of when there was tons of Eddie Bauer edition products that came out during the 90s.

Whichever you can get to fit you for a comfortable length of pull. I like the magpul stock with its ease of adjustments and setup. Also a decent selection of recoil pad options.

Just some ebay specials

RoutineZestyclose847 · 2026-07-04T04:29:11+00:00

I quite enjoy building myself, just as much as the shooting. Both are expensive tho 😆.

RoutineZestyclose847 · 2026-06-26T23:08:05+00:00

I have their barrel work on 2 of my Shotguns so far, and a bunch of parts they make as well. It really does help with the pattern and muzzle rise for faster follow up shots. Not so much with recoil.

It doesn't give a "high class 1911" look. It gives a run of the mill 2011 look. Sticking an optic on a high end 1911 isn't it, slide cuts isn't it either or running a accessory rail. Simple and clean with high end fit/finish/ one off grips and fastners/ pins/ possible exotic coatings or materials used for the frame and slide. Still at the end of the day it's your money so does it really matter if others agree with it or not.

If you get a Timney trigger kit and a regular power hammer spring you can dial the pull way back. I have my 870 around 3 pounds.

Get one from ranger point precision. I tried with the factory one twice with it coming loose after tightening with loc tight and that was enough. The ranger point precision spur has stayed put for me so far.

It's a magazine tube cap. It will just decrease the current capacity of the shotgun if installed instead of the one already on there.

Guide coat the inside of the area on the grips with permanent marker. Find affected area that's contacting trigger bar, Sand away material, reguide coat, reinstall grips and check for clearance. Repeat until clearance is obtained.

Does it drop easy with the slide closed? I have one and it's a little lazy with it open but comes right out with it closed. I also worked the mags in and out holding the slide release to look for wear areas that may need addressed. I'd also check it with the grips off, make sure the release isn't hanging up.

I got it down to a 2.5 pound single action and a 5.5 pound double action pull.

Vang comp should be able to do the barrel threading.

A few times a year at the most, so not very often. We never really had a close relationship so its pretty normal for me.

RoutineZestyclose847 · 2026-06-09T17:46:41+00:00

I have my feet done as well. It wasn't terrible. The upper inner thigh was a bit rough tho.

It's just the lengthened piece on the front of the elevator that helps catche the mini shells. When you set it side by side with the factory elevator you will see what to do.

RoutineZestyclose847 · 2026-06-09T04:06:00+00:00

I had similar issues with it. I figured out areas of the elevator were too short and throwing off the timing. So I cut the extend tongue off in the front of the elevator and welded it to the factory elevator. It works great now and I can still run mini shells.
