As I understand in Browns book there are three ways to convert a SXS shotgun into a rifle. (1)Use the existing barrels assy, cut off the barrels, bore and sleeve the monoblock, or (2) cut off barrels and thread and screw barrels to monoblock or (3)make up a completely new monoblock and barrels assy,,,,, I was thinking of the # 1 or 2 option as it might be a bit stronger with steel barrels, maybe not...Ed

I would also prefer to use vintage hammer quality hammer gun,,,,
