I know my handguns well enough, but not my shotguns...
Found a stevens model 238 or 258A bolt action at the local Gander Mountain, 100 and change for it. This one has been there a while and everytime I go to Gander Mountain, I keep coming back to it. I am considering getting it and turning it into a nice little deer gun for the winter.
My questions:
Can the barrel be swaped out for any old 20 gauge barrel? I would probaly want to switch to a rifled barrel.
Are there any known issues with these models?
How available are parts?
Thanks,
Andrew
