Re: Long shotgun actions

Deant,

I'm all for conversion of some shotguns to DR's if that's what you like. However I persoanlly would be forced to track you down and smack you in the head if you cut up a perfectly fine pair of WJ Jeffrey barrels .

Enjoy it for what it is a fine shotgun that you should be proud of. As you said perhaps later you can make or get made a set of barrels.

I say that one because there really aren't that many out there that we should be cutting up these fine old examples of shotguns. Also when you cut them you have to worry about strength not only whether they are chopper lump or shoe lump, dovetailed etc but also in the metalurgy with the increased pressure.

As I said please don't cut up perfectly fine barrels for that old classic.

Tinker,

I came accross that Jeffrey when I was surfing the web drolling over all the fine doubles. There is something about it that makes me want to go to the bank and get a loan .
