Colerain turkey barrel converted to 16 ga?

[archer829]

Good morning! I've got a couple of questions about my current project, a flintlock turkey gun. 

I already have a Colerain 20 gauge barrel, C profile, with the turkey choke.  Was wondering if there is enough material in this barrel for it to be converted to 16 ga, possibly jug choked.

If the answer to that is yes, any suggestions about who I should contact about doing this?

Thanks for your time!

colerain comes to mind. call and ask.

I guess 16 gauge is .663 internal diameter. You could measure your barrel at the breech and at the thinnest point and you’d have an idea what’s left for wall thickness.

According to the chart in the TOTW online catalog both 20 ga and 16 ga Colerain use the same C profile....LK

Any recommendations who to contact for reasonable cost and turnaround time?  Thanks!

I would buy a Colerain 16 gauge barrel as Longknife suggests. But if you must, I would contact Bobby Hoyt.

Get the 16 ga, put the barrels in with wedges and have them interchangeable!
