I’ve just finished my fourth conversion of a single shot shotgun to a rifle.
This one has a Tikka 7mm barrel chambered in 7-30 Waters.
I found that Minwax Red Oak stain matches the factory color fairly well. I had to take the stock down a trifle to mate up with the recoil pad, so I went ahead and refinished it.
This stub was cut off even with the forend like my first one- the 44-40.
I was fortunate enough to find a nice 70’s 490 Topper Jr. 20 gauge for this project.
From top to bottom in the pic is the 44-40 with a Weaver K1.5, the .218 Bee with a Tasco 4x, the .256 Win with a Valor 4x, and the 7-30 W with a Weaver K4.
The 44-40 is built on a 12 gauge and it is the heaviest of the four.
They are fun!
