Hello all,

Well this kind of got started here:

http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=151426&an=0&page=0#Post151426

I had an Idea to make a set of conversion tubes modeled after a set from Tanfoglio.
Upon further investigation, I ended up deciding to go for it and convert a 16 ga to a 20 ga DR.
This thread will serve as a build thread for those interested.

Progress:

Pair of 20ga fully rifled blanks 27" long 1 3/16" OD - Funds sent pending shipping.
Stock picked and I'll take it said, it is with the Smith so payment will be included in the final bill.
Forearm Blank sourced - Paid, awaiting shipping to Smith.
Donor Gun, awaiting pictures of 2 candidates, FN 16ga SXS (No other info yet), Simson 16ga SXS Greener cross bolt, dual underlugs Anson & Deely action, Side Clips and Dual triggers.

Below are pictures of the wood.

The plan is:

26" Barrels.
3" chambers
Single rear Express sight ( Dakota, NECG or Racknagel )
Fibre bead front (Red) (Racknagel or NECG )
1/4 Rib with Talley QD bases milled in.
English Walnut stock in classic english shadow line cheek piece.
Semi beaver tail forearm.
Case color hardened reciever.
Steel grip cap. ( Case colored )
Pacmyer Decelerator old english pad ( Black )
Stock and rib mounted swivels.

Well that is it for now. I will keep you updated as it progresses.

Cheers
