I see you are reading posted replay's, and learning. Thats good, we all love to play with DR's and shoot them. You will have a lots of fun here and learn how to convert your own shotgun to DR. Remember, you will need Mill, Lathe and grinder of some kind. Lots of files and sandpaper to. Or have a friend that has similar interest and do it together with you. Good luck, and go buy USED Baikal double rifle and shoot it. Gunbroker has good deals sometimes.

heh thanks. I'm in the market for a lathe right now, I have plenty of other tooling (though a better means of milling is another thing I'm looking for). I have a good friend I do gun projects with, we've built a number of rifles but nothing as time consuming as a double. Which is one of the reasons I'm so happy with the prospect of doing it. My classload is very small for awhile and my work hours are flexible, so other than the house projects I always have (new bathrooms, ripping up floors, building sheds, landscaping) and car project (Fj40 anyone?) I've got loads of free time haha!

thanks for the advice on a Baikal, I'm not sure if I want to buy one and get a better feel for a D/R or if I want to buy a shotgun receiver first (I figure the shotgun will be a fair bit cheaper, cheapest I've found Baikal's for recently is $700 used)
