im having the extra frazer barrels that i got with the alex henry fitted to another action(12 gauge underlever exposed hammers) as we speak and it took 2 days of searching to find a nice donor, should be done in about 3 months time.

Peter,

I'm confused. So you purchased two(2) sets of double rifle barrels in the same lot ie a set of Fraser barrels and a set of Henry Atkin barrels?

The Atkin barrels are in .450/.400 3". Are the Fraser barrels the same chambering?

Hope it all works out. Sounds like it may be a cheaper way to build a double rifle out of a shotgun than building double rifle barrels to add to a shotgun. Instead add the existing barrels! I don't know the technicalities involved at all however.

no this time i just bought the set of atkin barrels, but when i bought the alex henry there was 2 barrel sets with it, the 20x577 and a set of 450/400 3.25 made by danl frazer, i just for the fun of it had the frazer barrels with me when i went to a gundealer friend of mine.
so we rummaged through all of his hammer underlever guns untill we found something that would be a desent match(had to have a dolls head cutout) luckely we found one so now it is off to the gunsmith for the final handfitting. he actually had a frazer shotgun but without the dolls head and it would have been a crime to cut it just to have a dbl rifle.

so ken duglan is in the states at the moment and will be back in 2 weeks i will ask him then wich action would have been used for the atkin barrels, and then do a search for a action, i talked to the gunsmith yesterday and he told me that it really dident matter wich extension it has as long as the underlugs are close he could reshape or remake the extension to fit what ever i came along with .
so im looking at the atkin SLE again. i would love an atkin SLE dbl rifle but dont think i will be abel to afford it any other way.

finding a set of barrels in good condition is a good way to have that dbl rifle you othervice couldent afford .
