Hi, I was reading about bbl flip on SxS's, and the thought came to me that porting the bbls might be the answer to remedy this.
I think I'm going to have my Hussey Imperial Ejector be the Guinea Pig on this one.
I'm going to have my son take the bbls to his shop class and drill the holes, then smooth out the bores with some sandpaper or something in the shop. Then will test and see if it works.
So....what do you think?
Regards
Greg

I would just get a oval drill bit and do it at home with the ol Black and Decker.

If it works, stop by and get my AyA for porting. I need it back though by the time I go to Africa.

I saw something similar, though it was an O/U.
Years ago I sold a 101 trap gun to some old codger who apparently was suffering from advanced brain shrinkage.
He ported it on his drill press.
Four rows of uneven jagged holes complete with drill runoff, and you could see the marks in the stock from the vise.
If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'.
I'm a believer in doing whatever you want to your own personal property, ie it's OK to customize any gun. However, had I known his intentions, I never would have sold the gun.
Decent gun turned into scrap.

I made the terrible mistake of porting an O/U Perazzi trap gun I used for trap doubles thinking it would help me move to the second target more expeditiously. I found out, however, all it really did was blow smoke/gunpowder in my eyes if I was shooting into a head wind. Bad idea and I would never do it again to any gun, not even a Mossberg!

I'm not worried, my son will wrap the stock with an old tee shirt, so I won't worry about vise marks. I also think he'll use some kind of guide so the holes will be even.
My boy has talent.
Best!

If you decide to drill holes into that Hussey, Greg, make sure the result sounds like a calliope. Long winter up there, eh?

Greg You know, if it does not work cut the barrels off at 25 in and you will have the perfect gun. The boy ought to be able to find a hacksaw in shop class. They might even have a power hacksaw. Just buff barrel edges on the belt sander when done and the old girl ought to be good to go again. You can peen around the barrels for the last inch and half to put some choke back in them as well.

I heard about an insurance salesman who had his name ported into the barrels of his gun.

Greg,
Come on, April Fools Day has passed. We know you are fooling with us! No one on this fine board would drill holes in ANY SxS barrels! Leave that to those who live with O/U's!!!
