I think that is pretty cool that they are giving the 16 ga. a chance unless somehow it was mistakenly ordered and maybe they will not have them in stock.

It sounds like to me if you were to find a H&R / NEF Ultra Slug Gun model SBS 980 and have a 24”liner barrel turned to insert in the 12 ga. you would have pretty close to what you want to make.

You have several options, The barrel can be left “ as is “ if it doesn’t bother you when you break open the barrel to load it and see the gap around the chamber. Being your putting it in a 12 ga. the...

I just was gifted an old 12 ga. Essex single shot from a cousin. It needs some stock work but may make a rifle out of it. It’s got a very large firing pin so it would be something low pressure with a...

I currently use 30-30 brass for many other cartridges, 219 zipper, 25-35, 7-30 Waters, 32 Win spl., and 375 Win/ 38-55. I also have a 303 Savage that looks a lot like a 30-30 but would not chamber in...

I form my 256 on used 357 brass and some are as long as 1.310 and the case is only supposed to be 1.280. My chamber has no problem chambering the 1.310” long but I trim mine to 1.295 as that’s close...
