trotterlg,
This could be done, but the chamber area makes the breech end very thin. The chamber and forcing cone are also very long (3" plus cone) and you would have to make a plug that would either have a very long flash channel or be dished out deep enough to hold the powder charge without leting the shotcup come in contact, thus creating a void. The only part that scares me is that the chamber area once threaded would be weakend considerably and the plug would have to be very long to reach the bore. You couldn't leave a powder chamber larger than the bore, the pressure would just be to much to handle and would esentially be a pipe-bomb.
If I could get a 12ga barrel without a chamber, just a straight bore with choke tube threads, it would have already been done 3 years ago. Just dont think H&R/NEF is gonna do that for us though.

They could just make it easy and give us what we have been wanting for years.
Since were dreaming, I want a TDC barrel with vent rib, choke tube threads, tapped for scope base and a carrierless 209 plug that I could later convert to .25 ACP if desired. Is that too much to ask? Must be, cause they aren't listening.
