Greetings All:

Approximately four years ago a professional gunsmith acquaintance of mine took on a project of converting a 20-gauge sxs baikal shotgun into a 45-70 DR. I gave him the brand new shotgun and barrels and said, "Go to it".

Four years later he has still not finished the project. He keeps telling me it takes time and he is busy and he has other projects and, and, and. I know that all he has done is attached the 45-70 barrels to the action and done a little filling to fit the contour of the barrels to the action.

My patience is at an end and I am hoping to find someone on this site who would be willing to take over the project. I know no one likes to pick up someone else’s partially finished work. I would be happy to send you photos of the project to-date. As far as I know, this is no hack job. The gunsmith is a professional and an artist; the problem is he is bone-lazy. The man has no bills, no responsibility, lives with his well-to-do brother and only works for spending money.

I have always wanted a double rifle and 45-70 is one of my favourite calibres. I got so tired of waiting I went out and bought a 9.3x74R Antonio Zoli sxs DR; Pictured in double rifle section.

I am writing from Alberta, Canada. If you are interested, please respond and I would be happy to discuss the project with you. Or if you have any suggestions as to how I can motivate my gunsmith, I would welcome your suggestions. I tried money, it doesn't seem to work.

Kind regards,
