I'm in the process of building a "stub" gun. I bought a unchamber but rifled .357 barrel and turned it down to fit into a cut down 12GA barrel. It's all installed and was a semi press fit and then epoxied in place, I never realized how much space epoxy takes up!
I made the mistake of making it fit to tight and with the 'step' of the chamber to barrel it must've trapped epoxy in there making it extremely difficult for final fitting. Any way that's all behind me and chamber reaming is the next step, I'm planning on using a .357MAX from 4D any feed back there? If I do go with the MAX I know I can still use .357 Mag but can I go all the way down to .38Sp.? Do I need to rent all the extras they have like the GO-NOGO gauges? Can you tell this is new territory for me? Any advice would be appreciated.
Oh yeah, the REAL next step is the extractor but I'm thinking ahead.
