I'm a new user so I hope this question hasn't been asked before. I was thinking about building an over under shotgun and was wondering if it would be doable and not incredibly expensive. I don't have any gunsmithing experience but I do have a good understanding of woodworking as I do it as a hobby. Have a few questions.
I was thinking I'd buy parts for the gun and then make the stock myself but haven't found much information on people doing that. Would it be possible to find a used receiver and then get a set of barrels to match it? I read replacement o/u barrels require extensive gunsmithing, is that true? I've also found it's very hard to find receivers and barrels. Has anyone done anything like this before? If so what was it like?
I realize that I would probably be better off buying a new o/u if I just needed one but I thought the idea of building one would be really cool and fun.
