You can turn your 44 blank to fit closely into the shotguns chamber and bore and epoxy it in.
The big advantage to this method over stubbing it is you save not only having to make and attach a new forend stud plus no need to refinishing the whole barrel.
Everyone I have built is as good of a shooter as a stubbed barrel which I have also done many of and much less work.
Starting with a raw blank and profiling it threading it and your stub is a lot of lathe time.
If you like the profile of the topper barrel you only need to drill and tap for a scope base or add rifle sights and cut to length.
Just another option to consider.
