david pedersoli double

i see in hunting magazine that pedersoli is making an external hammer double in 9.3x74 and 45/10. in the pictures at least it sure looks sweet.

.45-70 (check typo)
Some folks take this double and ream out to .45-120 or .45-90 to get a bit more horsepower. I've seen many and never a negative word.

I have shot one that originated in 45/70 and was rechambered to .450 3 1/4" nitro express by jack Haugh.

That's intersting. I've seen doubles with the chamber lengthed but to change a .45-70 to a .450 NE, would not that entail extractor and breech face work as the rim is thinner?
Just wondering as I'm no gunsmith.

I have no idea what the work entailed, I'll ask my friend. He is also the one who has the A&N .577-.450.
