**Carter Ranger Pump**
Because why not 🙃 I had this Ranger since high school and I wanted to do something a little more modern (more so I was bored and wanted to do something cool) I looked through the body and realized that if I removed the feedneck the feedhole is vertical vs at an angle. A Dremel and a cutoff wheel made quick work on removing the neck. A little clean up on the welds and it came out as expected.
I figured I’d use flyweightnate CCI Empire Feedneck Stub since it fits 1” bodies. Drilled and tapped for a 8/32 screw. I had to flip the feedneck and mount it the opposite direction because I’d be drilling into the section where the barrel sits and there’s not enough material for an ample amount of threading.
I need to change the screw to the proper length and remove little burs around the mounting hole but I’m satisfied so far. The body needs some surface touch ups and will be painted or ceracoated black?? eventually since it’s steel.
