Indeed! And that was the only way that I was able to get the .405 WCF double rifle that I wanted!


Now that it is regulated to the ammo I use, I love it!




Very true. And we have seen some very nice creations by members here.

I think my main point, is hiring a gunmaker to make a double rifle out of a shotgun because it might cost less is not the best route. Buy a decent 'cheaper' brand double rifle and it will be a much more secure purchase. However some want to do it differently. It must be cool to shoot and hunt with a DR of one's own creation. Use the best components starting with the donor action.

One of the 'conversions' I am thinking of, wasn't actually a shotgun. It was a .450 No2 NE made out of a .45/70 Pedersoli DR. Photos of it look very fine, and it has hammers Looks great. But why has it has seemingly a half dozen owners in twice that many years? Proibably under weight (?), and maybe regulation issues. Many of the guys on here could re-regulate it, assuming the barrels can be separated easy enough (?).

Cool rifle in the photo. Must be fun to use it.
