I got a spanish 10 gauge SxS. Would you think it worth a couple hundred dollars to cut the barrels to 24" and make a paradox double rifle out of it? There is a company back east that specializes in cutting long forcing cones and doing choke tubes. I sent them the measurements at 24" and they say they can cut the barrels, and put a pair of rifled 2" choke tubes in for under $200. I understand accuracy might only be in the 3" range at 50 yards, but it would be a tremendous amount of fun with 3" long brass cases and a slug.

10-guage Zabala Honchos, 32" SXS that weighs 11.5 lbs?
I cut one down to 24" and it took one pound off of it. At 10.5 pounds it was well balanced.

I put rifle sights on the rib and used to dove hunt with it whenever I could find any shells loaded with no. 6 or smaller shot.

Mine was smoothbore and straight cylinder but it shot the Federal 3-1/2" Foster slugs into about 6" 4-shot group at ... 25 yards.

You should do better.
Should be fun.
Show us how to do it right!

You guys have waaaaaaaaaaay too much time on your hands if you're screwin' with that whacky stuff!!

yep, it can be done..
or can do a 550 flanged on it

I recommend you:
Spend your money on a Chapuis 9,3x74R Scoped double.

You will thank me for it in the long run.
