Handi in .30-40 Krag?
« on: January 04, 2005, 05:42:27 PM »
Has anyone that you all know of ever tried having a .30-30 Handi rechambered to .30-40? In just looking at chamber dimensions it would seem to be pretty straightforward.
Does anyone see any potential problems?

It's been done successfully by several folks who have mentioned the conversion at the Yahoo Groups NEF Group forum.  It's going to be my next project, hopefully in the spring.  The gunsmiths who do this work are listed in  the Yahoo groups files located at http://sports.goups.yahoo.com/group/nef-singleshot.  In order to access the files, you'll have to join the group.   Don't know if David White, who is often mentioned here, is one of them...others can tell you, I'm sure.
