I'm not sure if this will work, but here's a picture of two pistols I put together out of some leftover junk I had laying around:

the top one is a TOW stock, 10" off the end of a lyman trade rifle .50 barrel,investarms lock, a cva trigger, guard from DGW, front sight from a T/C, ramrod guide from a tulle kit I had,ramrod from a cva that a friend of mine broke so I shortened it, and fabbed the rear sight from some sheet brass I had. total cost abot $20.00 including stain.

the bottom one is a lyman lock, homemade stock, homemade trigger from a brass brakeline fitting,12" of barrel from a H&R 12ga single shot, breechplug & triggerguard from DGW. the stock split from recoil, so I wrapped it with the brass strap to hold the barrel. I shoot 30grs 3f under 40 grs of #6 shot, and it's full choked,so it works great on gray squirels that bother you durring deer season!

Not bad at all. Have you tried a .690 rd ball in the .i2 ga? Not sure if it would go through a full choke but if it would you could shoot it with just wads and no patch. Should make a good sized hole in a Pesky Squirrel. :grin:
 
actually we have. They fit loose, so I use wonder wads in front & back of the ball. with no rear sight and a loose ball, acuracy is poor at best. but the big bang and smoke is what it's all about anyways, isn't it?
 
Nice job on the guns! :thumbsup:
That's the best use I've seen for an old H&R barrel. :applause:
