After a bit of discussion, we began toying with different ideas, and an old (very old!) idea of mine arose. I've always wanted a drilling or double rifle, and even more, one in a fun caliber, instead of the typical boomer that shakes your eyeballs loose! So, here's what I proposed to my friend, after I talked him out of the shotgun. We're going to pull the tubes and turn down two .311" barrels and use them as liners for the old SxS.
My friend has built some of these for himself and others, and has figured out how to regulate them to hit point of aim at 50 or 100 yds., so we're going to make it a .32-20 SxS double rifle, and set it up for 100 yd. plinking, or small "safari" hunting! The process requires that the 28" barrels will be about 2" shorter when it's relined and regulated, but that's just about the length I want in a double rifle. It will be fairly muzzle heavy, but should hold really well, and even better from cross sticks.
So that's the hair brained plan. Nuts or what?
for that matter?
