I was actually thinking about the possibilities of fitting (if thats required), a hammer action to some of their longer barrels. Yes I like the Old Hammer style too!

Ive been toying with the MACE inserts for another project. They only make them a maximum of 18 inches. The price is right enough for me to experiment with them. So far my current scheem is to add unrifled extentions to lenthen the inserts to 24 inches then use a similar (although smaller) nut and wedge system to secure anf "reg-u-guess" until Im on target.

If Baikal rates their guns as safe for 45-70 factory, then Im guessing a 45-120BP load will work, especially if I bush the firering pins and sitck to strictly BP loads. 45-120 has the added "bling" of a 3 1/4inch case compared to the shorter 45-70, and its a simple task to lengthen the chamber.

It'll never be an Africa gun but the project is half the fun for me, and it'll raise some eyebrows in the Whitetail camps. Plus Im thinking it'll smack some Wild Boar with some authority.
