OldSlowDog, Bristoe, rbmsmjr, Big Redhead, Dutch, Blacktail53, and others,
Thank you very much for all the kind words; they've given me a new pride of ownership for this little rifle and enthusiasm to start another project.
I just recently picked up another of these 110 rifles for next to nothing since this time it was just a barreled action for some reason. I tried the new barrel against my breach and was happy to discover that it locks up just as tight. Then I checked the scrap pile and rescued a nice, straight-grained, 24" long stick that was cut off the same blank.
So my question to the group is, should I use this extra barreled action (I guess just the monoblock, and throw away the rest) to make a second, switch barrel? I could experiment with makng a full-length forearm... mabey a carbine length in .357 Maximum? Or should a just make a whole new rifle in some other caliber?
