Ten Gauge HE Possible?
Has anyone done the measurements on the HE receiver to determine whether ten gauge barrels could be fitted? Another possibility would be boring a set of Jason Bardons rough barrels to ten gauge.

well - if a nominal 10 is .775 - 12 is .729 -
so say .046 to remove- with even honing - that's .023 on each side of any opposite sides
the wildfowl barrels Jason has listed for sale have a minimum wall thickness of .037 (does considering pits)
so unless you find a heavier walled set - say around .050 minimum -
i wonder about the practicality of the idea

that would be an interesting project for that sawed off HE discussed on the double gun board if you could get the chamber end of the barrels what could be the mono-block stand in along with the action
