4TRAILS , I wouldn't try to make a 470NE out of a little Mod 24. It is simply not up to it, IMO! If done properly, you could probably get away with a nice rifle chambered for something no larger than a 30-40 Kreag, or 303 Britt, and maybe a a 405 Win. The key is to have it done properly, and anyone who wants to do a 470NE on a Mod 24, and reccomends 20" barrels, is not the man I'd have build it! There are a lot of very good gunsmiths out there who do wonderful work, on bolt rifles, but are complete dunces where double rifles are concerned! You might get in touch with David Yale, up in YellowJacket, Colorado, and ask him what he reccomends! Yale has built some really nice double rifles on shotgun actions! If you want a double rifle that is worth haveing, then start with a quality shotgun, and I too reccomend German actions over Britt actions. This is for two reasons, the first of which is the destroying of a fine Britt shotgun, and second of which is, I believe the German shotgun actions are built stronger, though some are quite funny looking!

The money spent on this project, will make a big dent in the total cost of an off the shelf "NEW" 470 NE double, which is a big improvement over any conversion!
