Call me crazy but....

Is it possible to re barrel a 110 long action to .410 for slugs.

i really like the idea of the 220 slug gun but would like something a little different.

The rim diameter of a 410 is a almost the same size as a mag. the col is shorter than the 300 win mag (donor action).

Anyone with thoughts on this please share.

Rim, Extraction, bolt, barrel face.

If you want to throw cheap lead try casting your own bullets. One if the .416 cases may offer you what you are looking for if it dose not have to be paper or plastic. Not sure how you are going to get your smooth bore barrel though.

Try 444 marlin

If you dont want a smooth bore but a rifled bore...Since The Judge fires .410 and 45 colt in the same gun. What if you found a 45 barrel and rechambered? Not worth a darn with shotshells but may work out pretty well with slugs.

If that doesnt work out,you can always find a .41 barrel. They have to make them, i mean 41 Mag and all.

450 Marlin would be much easier to do with a standard bolt action.

[stangfish]

you could do a 458 socom with a 223 boltface. Dont forget the 338 spectre.

I was thinking this would a southern Michigan deer rifle of some sort.

We are not allowed to use rifles in the southern half of the lower peninsula. So i was thinking a bolt action rifled barrel slug gun much like the 212 or 220 but starting out with .410. If i can come up with a .410 barrel i thought there has to be some way to load a .41 pistol bullet into a .410 hull.

Saami Specs for the 410 gauge 2 1/2" chamber (http://www.saami.org/PubResources/CC_Drawings/Shotshell/410%20Bore%202_1-2.pdf) look similar (but different) when compared to the chamber diagrams of the 405 Winchester (http://www.saami.org/PubResources/CC_Drawings/Rifle/405%20Winchester.pdf)

Midway stocks two bullets in that caliber, 300 and 360 grain (http://www.midwayusa.com/find?&sortby=1&itemsperpage=20&newcategorydimensionid=6315). Not cheap, but perhaps doable.

The devil is in the details, however.
Keep us informed as to how this works out for you!

I was wondering the legal distinction, You going to have a rifled barrel? On an action registered as a rifle?

[thomae]

With a rifled barrel it is not a shotgun.

The Taurus "Judge" has a rifled barrel. Therefore it is not a shotgun and can be sold with the short barrel it has with no extra stamps/paperwork/forms, etc...

With a rifled barrel it is not a shotgun..
I don't know about that. There are a large number of shotguns (Rem 870, Mossberg 500, many,many others) sold with factory rifled barrels and many aftermarket rifled barrels that are legal for use in "shotgun only" areas. I expect the definition is base on the ammunition allowed.
