There is one other gunsmith who was doing conversions. Haven't spoken to him in over a year.

Mike brought up having a cape gun converted. Can this be done to just the shotgun barrel? Who and how much would something like that cost?

Mike brought up having a cape gun converted. Can this be done to just the shotgun barrel? Who and how much would something like that cost? Mike the problem with converting a cape gun is the different size in the barrels at the chamber area. They can not be sleeved. The left barrel can be removed from the underlugs and a new barrel installed, however sometimes the balls on the standing breech can be different, also the location of the firing pins can be different. You would also need new ribs, sights, forearm, and then the question is can you get a reamer without having a custom one ground these are just a few of the things that would make it costly. Also sometimes the ribs are brazed instead of soldered. Enjoy your cape gun and persue other avenues. Regards Rich

Wow - that came up great. I hadn't considered cutting a thread like that into the breech of the gun. I was going to braise the transition/interference fit tube to the inside of the barrel. But this has given me something to think about. Could use a meatier barrel and nitro loads as opposed to black powder. mmmmmm
