Re: Double Rifle on Shotgun Frame question
|
I first had the Kodiak checked for having bored to 500/465 NE or 470 NE, but the frame is only for a 20 Gauge shotgun. Pedersoli would have provided a extra set of barrels in 45/70 which I then had to rebore. They declined any warranty after. Again, my very competend gunsmith (made a Ruger #1 in .577 NE for me) and the proofhouse inspected the frame and they said itīs quite small and very "hollow" milled.
The Kodiak barrels have no cone for regulating and I donīt know if and how how the are regulated from Pedersoli. I had no chance to shoot the one I had for checking, but a buddy of mine said that he once had one and it shot totally unaccurate with the unability to regulate. He sold it.
My frame is big enough for a 12 Gauge and the gunmaker and gunsmith donīt see a problem. It will have cones and it will be regulated for ammo I choose.
Iīve been told that I can see my rifle at the end of the month. It will not be fully completed but my trigger finger starts ticking the closer it gets. I will post some pics.
