I have obtained a beautiful Arietta 28 gauge SXS with a bulged barrel. I intend to remove the bulge. and use it for the basis of a double rifle By making custom inner barrels. And I do realize the regulating problem. Would any of you have knowledge of these guns And could possibly suggest a cal based on it being in 28 gauge sized receiver etc. Please bear in mind I know very little about shotguns.so any help appreciated. Whitey PS you may email me also at. whanson@plainstel.com

I would also consider a cape gun conversion, leaving the good 28g barrel as is. With kind regards, Jani

I would be pretty careful about doing this. Recent article in DGJ highlighted that whilst a double shotgun action and double rifle actions look very similar, a double rifle action is working to much higher pressures and will thus have much thicker sidewalls, longer water table etc. My advice would be to get the bulge sorted and to then enjoy it as a 28 bore shotgun.

Thanks I do understand the pressure situation and the regulating problems. The pressure situation is why. I am hunting for suggestions. As I know nothing about This Brand I was hoping to find someone who had knowledge of the Arietta. Further as I am not a bird hunter leaving it a shotgun does not interest me. BUT as a conversion project. I am very interested.Whitey

450 3&1/4" BPE.....perfect for anything in North America and a classic round with components readily available. Steve

Arietta make good quality shotguns and are on a par with AYA, which again are nice good reliable and long lasting shotguns.

If you were to say a NE .450 I might agree(but think 20ga to be more proper in scale), but a bpe .450 should be just fine.

Would a 32-40 work in the 28 ga. Whitey
