LGS has a 243/20 Ga Combo
Posted: 25 Jan 2014 09:48
I stopped at the local gun shop looking for a 92. Only thing they had was a .243/20 ga combo. Black stock, used but looked new, and $220. Likely I could get it for $200. So I have a few questions:
Is there any demand for the shotgun barrels? Selling the barrel would make the total cost of the rifle more attractive to me.
I know that only Rossi can fit a new barrel, but has anyone done it? Yes, I know the headspace must be correct, but there are skilled craftsmen out there and figure someone must have figured it out.
What is the accuracy like on these? I know some of the h&r handi rifles are tack drivers.
For $220 I can have it bored out to 358 winchester. Might be fun.
Edit: Then again, I just checked and a H&R in 35 Whelen goes for $206 at Buds gun shop.
