Another shotgun to rifle conversion.
Or, what to do with old gun parts...
A couple years ago I bought some Trapdoor parts from webfoot10 here on Cast Boolits. Used some, traded some and kept some for projects. I kept a barreled receiver because it was special in a couple ways and webfoot made sure I knew it was special and gave me a great deal on all the stuff.

Both were in bright finish, which isn't real special. The receiver has an 1886 serial number and that ain't special neither. But looking inside the bore... Now that's special.

After unscrewing the receiver, a closer look.

After talking to a couple folks then contemplating what to do I decided this would make a good barrel for another action. So I turned the bad breach off and removed the threads.

I then found these two Hopkins and Allen falling block 12 gage shotguns for sale locally and got a good deal on them.
