I'd love to hear about it, Paco. I've fantasized about a similar project with a nice-quality Spanish double I have.

Heck yes Paco! This is a popular subject...

Yes!! Dreamed about from time to time too.

YES, PLEASE/PLEASE/PLEASE

Yes I would love to hear how you did it.

Yes Sir! Would love to hear about it.

You're not going to get an argument out of any of us. Perhaps a lot of begging and whining, but no argument!

JohndeFresno · Post by **JohndeFresno** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 9:22 pm

...so how did you do it?

J Miller · Post by **J Miller** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 9:31 pm

Yes, I'd love to hear about it.

I did it too, well sort of. I had a Biakal SXS coachgun with external hammers and with screw-in chokes and bought and installed the 45/70 barrel inserts. Slick little set up. A CAS shooter wanted in real bad and paid way more than I had into it.

Sounds pretty interesting to me.

Seems to be a unanimous YES!

Can you also comment on how this type project might be done for a .45-90 and .405 Winchester?
Thank you.

And the chorus grows - really keen to see this project . I would love a 45.70 double rifle and on occasion the thought has crossed my mind to chop my shotgun .

sounds very interesting. I have an old 12 g JC Higgins in the safe that could be a recruit.

It would be an absolute hoot to reline my old ($100) 16ga Damascus Hammer Gun and turn it into a BP-pressure double .45/70...

Lets not delay this too long as it is unbecoming to have American men line up begging.

brucew44guns · Post by **brucew44guns** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 7:10 am

Paco,Is there any guarantees, that after reviewing your info, that most of us will own such a double rifle? I hope you can at least "imply" that there is a good chance!!

bring it on, should be interesting. Thanks for your work.

I guess it all depends how many here are machinists or tool and die people(have ability to set head spacing) and have machine tools available to preform the needed tasks, to do this type of work?

I talked with Paco yesterday (May 4) .. He has some health issues that need addressed, as well as caring for his wife's health problems. He may be a little slow getting back to you boys ... but the double rifle is a reality.

Travis Morgan · Post by **Travis Morgan** » Tue May 05, 2009 1:24 pm

Prayers sent; caring for a loved one is hard enough on your own health, without being sick, too!

madman4570 · Post by **madman4570** » Tue May 05, 2009 3:08 pm

Also sending prayers for Paco and his wife.
Hope they get better very soon!
