Ithaca NID - Project feasibility questions - 03/25/24 02:50 PM
Good morning.
I have accumulated a set of 28" 28ga NID ejector barrels.
I have also accumulated a NID grade 1 .410 parts kit with 26" barrels. The parts kit is complete and matching and in real nice condition except for the about 1" of cutaway material starting at the front of the frame. What a shame this gun was cut up.
Both barrel sets have almost the same width/height at the breach end and are basically fluish with the standing breach of the cut up .410 frame.
What kind of mess am I am getting myself into thinking that the front of the frame could be replicated by welding on and re-milling a piece of metal stock and then all the other parts needed to fit both barrels to end with a .410/28ga gun set?
What are your thoughts mechanical and cost/value wise?
Many thanks,
