20 bore double conversion
#110128 - 21/07/08 12:09 PM

I am considering having my A.H.Fox Sterlingworth converted to a 20 bore double rifle. It was shortened and the stock was cut and a pad installed, ruining its collector value. It is a tight well cared for gun. I cant decide wether to go through with converting it, or find a suitable donor gun and making a .45-70. Any ideas??

Depends on the reason for a build. If you like to hunt deer size critters up close then a 20 bore rifle is ideal. The Fox action is plenty strong enough for a bore rifle. I like projects like this and you end up with a safe and easy to use conversion. The most readily available rifled tubes come from hastings and have a very fast rate of twist only suitable for sabots. If it suits your needs it looks like a fun build.
