Pictures of my 20 Guage https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...11909/double-20-gauge-rifle#Post18311909It has clips, Greener crossbow and double underlug lock. It's built on a LaRona action with Hastings barrels. So far I've found that regulates at 50 yards with Brenneke KO, Winchester Copper Impact, Winchester foster slugs, and a DangerGame Slug load with Longshot. Hastings calls their barrels Paradox, but they are rifled, not true paradox. Being stuck in slug and buckshot country she's the bees knees. Hopefully, by fall ill be able to get around and take her to the range and then into the woods. Bfly

Are those 20ga. liners in a 12, or did they fit the barrels to your action. Very interested in hearing about the finer details.

The gun started life as a 12 guage. The current barrels are Hastings Paradox, ie fully rifled 20bore barrels that are fitted into a short piece of the original barrels. The new barrels are either silver soldered or barzed together after regulation. It shoots the loads I mentioned at fifty.yards. so far, it hates hornady sabots. I'm not sure what that building ⁸ process is called. A fellow in Illinois had it built for whitetails to shoot Lyman slugs, but the regulation load data was lost when he passed. When I get back in shooting condition, I'll be working on handloads. It's a quick handling little gun that fits my tree stump with short branches frame. Handles for me, like a 94 winchester. The fellow I got it from told me he wished he had it in hand when following up his leopard. I can see why. Bfly
