.50 CVA Frontier Hunter Carbine, Bore it out to 28 ga smoothbore for squirrel ?
« on: January 21, 2024, 07:51:50 AM »
I've had this thing lying around for a quite some time, tried selling it locally, ($250 with the CVA scope kit and offset hammer and a scope) - no interest

Now I'm thinking it might make a good shotgun for the squirrel squirrel woods. I'll have it bored out to .550 (28 gauge), which should be enough to remover the rifling, and jug choked full. With the scope attached it can double as a turkey gun.

Who do we have here that does that kind of work ??

Who can I send it to to have it done? The job is miles out of my wheelhouse.

How deep are the dovetails?, or screw holes etc. You better know and calculate the wall thickness.
