stubs
« on: March 23, 2007, 05:09:52 PM »
Since there is not a search right now I apologize in advance if this has been asked answered before. I understand the concept of taking a donor barrel and cutting it off  and boring and inserting another barrel. My question is how is it held in place in the stub soft soldered, hard soldered, brazed, threaded, press and pinned, shrunk fit ?I have the tools to do all the above. Also what stubs can you use sb2 only on rifles and either on shotguns.

See Larry's thread down the page on the .30 Carbine project.

All the barrels, and thus the stubs, fit all the frames (except the 10 Gauge) so just find a donor and have at it.  I am using the SB1 frame for the 30 Carbine, I did the pressure calculations and the 30 Carbine will produce about a thousand pounds less frame pressure than a 12 Gauge will, so I feel safe I think.  If I post the range results tomorrow you will know I did not blow my self up.  If I don't post tomorrow you may want to do your own calculations.   Larry

Good luck to you. We hope to hear from you tomorrow. Say a prayer before you pull the triger.

I am old but not stupid, I will cover it with sand bags, stand way back and fire it at arms length, I do it that way with every rifle I fire for the first time, you should too.  Larry

I would say you are all set, mine works great, and I didn't put my eye out or anything.  Larry
