Shotgun receiver
« on: January 02, 2010, 07:30:44 AM »
I have a question. I have a couple of low pressure caliber barrels, a 44mag and a 45/70 that I swap to other frames I have. I would like to get another stock set and receiver, but to transfer a receiver in Cali runs $70 and up.
I saw that Big 5 (a local sporting goods store) had Topper shotguns on sale a couple of weeks ago for $125. I was thinking that might be a way to get another frame, and I could sell the shotgun barrel if I wanted to.
Question is, I know in the past there was an issue with the firing pin being larger on the shotgun, is that still the case? Any other issues I am missing? I know I need to keep to a low pressure caliber, but for what I have I think I am OK.
Thanks for any insight.

Sounds like a good plan to me.  Larry

Would 45 70 be concidered low pressure? I hear you about the transfers tho, almost as much as the reciver :o DR

YES, as long as we are speaking of trapdoor levels.

Yes, I do understand about the 45/70. I think I have had enough fun abusing my shoulder with hotter loads! But if I get in the mood, or want to let a shooting buddy shoot it I can use one of my other receivers or just shoot my 1895 Marlin.
Thanks, -greg

Another option would be to leave cali for a state w/ some freedom and let all the crazies have cali.

No, I don't run from a fight. There is a lot going on here and there will be some positive changes here in the near future.
Cali isn't nearly as bad as the so-call free states like to believe.
