Has this ever been tried for the 20 gauge?

Since the Mossy 835 is a 10 ga bore with a 12 gauge chamber basically, has there ever been a 20 that was bored to 16 gauge and then fitted to 20 ga chamber. I am aware of the over bored inv+, and other such over-bored barrels. It would seem logical that this would give a superior pattern
for the 20.

Doe sanyone know? Just curious.

I would love to have something like that as a pet project
sounds like it could be a bird buster
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

That would not be hard to do.  You could bore the 20 or just rechamber the 16.

I have thought about this some as well. Are the Mossy 20's not over-bored as well? It would be a fun project for sure.

How's the recovery going?

Recovery is going well as can be expected. It is a wakeup call for us .
The main thing is that I can't get into a bed without discomfort. The old recliner will be my bed for another week I guess.
I have had some weirdo dreams lately though. None whereby I actually got a turkey though.

A lot of that would be the barrel. Some barrels have big O.D. I would think the best thing to do would be rechamber.  I may try this on one. I have some stuff to put a barrel together and have a few bolt guns to try it on.  Look out neighbor hood. LoL

It really should be from an 18 gauge to 20 to be consistent with the 10 ga/ 12 ga gun.
