I've spoke about this gun here :

http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=665608&highlight=stevens

Briefly, but have a different issue/question now.

:)

Is it possible to have this current double reamed from a 2.75" acceptance, to a 3.5" one ?

I know there are stronger, and newer guns- I'm just wondering if its doable.

Thanks !


As a side note.... anyone know what it would cost to get a set of doubles made for this piece ?
 
The Maxium average operating pressure of a 3 1/2 inch 12 gauge shotgun is 14,000 PSI.

The maxium average operating pressure for a 12 gauge 2 3/4 inch shotgun is 11,500 psi.

I don't think you can find a gunsmith that would rechamber the gun for you.

To have a extra set of barrels made -- the cost would far exceed the value of the gun. In fact what it would cost, you could go out and buy several very nice shotguns.
 
I wouldn't.
That much reaming would take you well out into the taper of the barrels and the walls would be very thin at a high pressure zone.

What do you mean by "a set of doubles?"
An extra set of barrels? Couple of thousand dollars.
