Anyone here good at machining and making custom parts for guns or knows a local business that could?

I have a TriStar Tec-12 (Convertible, SA/pump) shotgun, and I found the stock to be too long for me, along with the grip to be largely uncomfortable. I spoke with Tristar and they verified that the Tri-12 is based off the Benelli M3. I've searched around and only have found 1 person to have successfully converted a M3 to accept a AR-15 Pistol grip and stock.

M4 stock adapter for Benelli M3

But it has been 4 years, I've attempted to contact this user with no luck. I was wondering if there is any hope for me and could be able to make something like this for me. I have a spare AR15 Grip and Stock, but not castle nut or buffer tube.

Thank you in advance.

Well my GF finds the grip to be uncomfortable, I dont mind it. Just the stock that bothers me

Honestly from a guy that has had quite a bit of machining experience, if you are not making it yourself, and paying for it, sell the gun and get one that has a pistol grip. R&D is extremely expensive.

Dang, gun works great. Its nice having the ability to go from Semi to Pump with a flip of a switch

I agree with idahoan, I could make it, but would have a few days into it. Then I would want to make 100 more to pay for the first one.

Someone makes an adaptor, Its similar to what FN is using on their police pump with adjustable stock.. I cant remember where I saw it tho.

Seems to be some car nutz around here Nismo svt etc we need car thread. Back on topic have you lookeed around for anyone who might make an ar style stock and grip for that? From your post its been 4 years since you looked there might be aftermarket pieces available now.

If you are serious, and are aware of potential expense (as others here have talked about), and cannot live without the part, these guys saved my life twice:

If you're a tire-kicker, or scheist-talker, don't bother.
