    Weatherby Patrician pump barrel

    I need a barrel for a Weatherby Patrician pump. Can anyone tell me if the Patrician II will fit my older receiver? I found a site that sells model 92 barrels would a model 92 fit the original style receiver?

    16 to 12 conversion 870.

    I have an 870 in 16 gauge. I am thinking the reciever is the same size as the 12 gauge. Could any body tell me why I could not throw in a 12 gauge bolt and put on a 12 gauge barrel, giving me a missing gauge without purchasing a new gun. I saw a barrel on here that was 1970's priced.

    handi in 7.62x54r

    i have been seeing 7.62x54r at prices practically at the 22lr level. i started to get a mossin just so i could have a rifle for this ammo, but after inspecting a mossin up close i thought i could do better. Now i am thinking somebody must have a NEF, HR, in this caliber. I would like to know...
