.50 CVA Frontier Hunter Carbine - Bored out to 28 gauge smoothbore for squirrel hunting ?

[Sudsy]

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 ??

The two main folks for this that I have run across are Mr. Bobby Hoyt and The Gun Works in Springfield, Oregon. Both are super nice people to talk to.

That being said, I reached out to them both last year and neither of them were taking new work. Mr. Hoyt said he was booked pretty solid through 2024.

I have their contact info if you want to reach out.

Not much point if they're too busy to do it.

Rebore and Ream Ruined Rifle or Pistol Barrel to a Smooth-Bore

Got a smoothbore .50 barrel for the InvestArms Hawkens carbine that I'm planning on taking to that exact gauge. Just too many projects & too little time at the moment.
