Hmmm, you might want to reconsider the Stevens. The action looks pretty strong and it is an all new design, not a remake of the old 310 model. This one is the model 410 and it looks pretty strong. I wasn't talking about sleeving the barrels, I was thinking about building one on a new monoblock that fit the action.

I know some folks are building doubles on older actions, so if they work, you might look at this. Besides, the whole idea is a project gun, not an 80,000 round monster.

Just a thought, anyway......
