Stock Interchange ?
« on: January 02, 2008, 09:11:36 AM »
Can a laminated handi-rifle stock be made to fit aN USH  12 ga ?  I don't think the buttstock is a problem however is there enough mass in the forearm to inlet for that barrel ?

I just eyeballed some of my extra wood... an old 10 ga. forend (same outer diameter as 12 ga. USH) and a laminated one from an Ultra Hunter Rifle.

It looks do-able to me, but that's just a guess. :-\

Now the question is whether the screw location holding the forearms matches both ?
I can do the barrel inletting so long as it doesn't become larger than the top of the forend ?

You can get the USH forend from H&R, they're a lot longer than a rifle or regular shotgun forend, but the spacer is the same, so you could enlarge the channel of a rifle forend, the stud position is the same. The accessory barrels come with forends. ;)
