10 gauge question

I know the 10 gauge frames are bigger, but are they made like an Sb1 or sb2 frame,could you use a 10 gauge and stub a rifle barrel to it, would it handle the pressure

SB2 shotgun frames are made just like SB2 rifle frames,  investment cast alloy steel, external dimensions are the same, but the internal frame opening is larger to accomodate the much larger 10ga chamber swell which means the sides are that much thinner, they also have large shotgun firing pins which makes them unsuitable for high pressure chamberings.
