Always looking for another project on top of the other 10+ happening concurently...

A single shot 12ga came into the shop for the right price. Gun is unused and basically mint. Gun is stocked high for a shotgun, straight grip, etc.

Stole this pic from Virgil in OZ on gunboards

I was thinking that while I send some other barrels out to get rifled, I can throw that one in and have a bore rifle made of it. The barrel is .07 thick at the muzzle so it is more than thick enough.
Is that gun in that condition worth changing? (is it worth more the way that it is or do those guns have any value anyway?)

Thanks

Tom
