From pistol to carbine to rifle

Ok, please understand that I am a butcher of all things made of wood, so getting this small project this far is a real accomplishment for me.

This is my first attempt at this sort of thing.

I needed to span a 4” hole. I bought the guard on fleabay because it was the only one that provided measurements. Screw to screw was just over 3.5”, so I gambled that I could make it fit.

The bending resulted in making more shallow, but it doesn’t interfere with operation of the safety or trigger. Plus I have skinny little fingers.

Please ignore the finishing washer as I still need to find som black hardware.

It's shallow, like you said, but that doesn't look half bad!!
