Converting a double barrel shotgun to a double barrel rifle

[t_haynes_12]

I saw the vortex nation podcast about the 357 maximum. The guy converted an old ruger no. 1 and it looked nice. I think one of them said something about turning a 28 gauge SxS into a double barrel rifle. Where would one get started for this? I have an idea for a build but it's just an idea. Where would one need to start?

Some guys were doing it on the CZ over under rifle shotgun combo guns that were also fitted with double shotgun barrels

I have Ellis Brown's book, it's a must have/read for this. I have not done it yet, but I did pick up a good doner shotgun with a greener crossbolt. Ellis talks about action strength in his book, and I can't remember what cartridges a 28 gauge action would be rated for.

There are some "true gunmakers" out there. Guys like AML, who can and do much more than chamber a barrel, fitting it to the action and glassing into a synthetic stock some other company made on a production basis.
