Who makes or would make rifled inserts for a shotgun. I dont have any ideas set in stone yet, so Im more than willing to consider any suggestions.
My idea is for a full length rifled barrel insert for a side by side. Once I find a gunsmith that will take on the project, I'll worry about regulation and all the other issues that I havent even thought of yet. In my ignorance, it seems a pretty simple concept. Tangfolio is making them for the Bakial coach guns; but Id prefer something in the 24" to 26" length. Ive heard MCA is only making them up to 18 inches, and his dont have any extraction, (except for a rod pushed from the muzzle).
I was thinking about a rifled 28 gauge insert for a 20 gauge gun. Ultimately, Id like it to have a 3" chamber for loading slugs in brass cases. The tangfolio inserts slip in from the breach end and are secured by a fitting that screws down at the muzzle, they supply two different muzzle pieces for regulation.
Im not fixated on 28 gauge. Id certainly entertain 20 gauge in a 16 or even 16 in a 12 gauge. Mostly I think the insert needs to have some method for extraction, (even if its just a small cut for a finger nail), and be fuul length. Rifle cartridges would be fine; but I figured shotgun shells would keep the pressures down and permit large size slugs.
Any ideas about gunsmiths or barrel makers?
