Now Gentlemen:

Comes the problem I am facing. The DR my gunsmith is putting together is built on a Baikal 20 guage action and as I understand it, is limited to approximately 32,000 CUP. This is why I am calling it a 348/450 NE and not a 450 Alaskan. I don't believe this action would be able to withstand the full load of a 450 Alaskan.

And as for the 50 Alaskan, I would switch barrels out ina heart beat but for the same problem.

Comments, questions and criticisms most welcome.

Kind regards,

Carpediem
