I also want to convert a shotgun into a double rifle. I have a Colt 1878 that was made in 1882. It's a 10 gauge. Who does such conversions?

IMO not a good idea.....two thoughts:
1) If the gun is in nice shape then you are destroying a relatively rare collector specimen.
2) A Colt 1878 shotgun action it is not likely strong enough for anything save a smaller 1880-1890's era black powder rifle cartridge, if that. Doubt you could find a reputable gunsmith to even try the conversion.....
