USH 12 Ga Receiver question
« on: August 18, 2010, 03:56:50 AM »
Hi All,

Is the receiver for the 12 GA USH cast like an SB1?

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?

No, it's investment cast alloy steel like the SB2 rifle frame.

Thanks for that Tim.

I am thinking of building a "African Hunter" style gun starting with a 12ga USH. I would like to take a little off the stock. LOP to 13.5 if it would still be long eye relief scope friendly. Also have the bbl chopped to 20 inches for a more rearward balance point.

Then......would like to shoot exclusively Dixie Slugs out of it. Specifically the Terminator(.730",730gr,at 1250fps) Wondering if this would be a project worth undertaking. I want to come out with "English  Double" power out of a single shot project that cost <$400.

WHY ??  Just because. ---SAWMAN

A friend of mine has a 12 ga USH and I have offered to buy him a couple of boxes of Dixie Slugs and let him try them.  Figured it would be a good chance to make a "U" tube video. ;D  For some reason he declined, I don't think he trusts me. ::)  Maybe he is still mad about the 3" Buckhammers I talked him into shooting out of his Beretta autoloader.  ;)
