Would love to shoot other calibers but not to spend a lot

[Meketrefe]

Many times I meet people who would love to shoot other calibers kind of occasionally
but when they look at the riflles, scopes, ammo and the whole setup they feel it is too much and they abandon the idea.

Also rifles with barrel swap systems are expensive and the barrels are expensive too. Magazines and bolts are expensive too if they are needed.
Some take down systems like the BLR has the option to swap calibers withing the same bolt faces but they are also a expensive alternative.

But there are some alternatives out there that can be very inexpensive and practical and will use popular firearms that some people might already have.

The first of course are the popular break open systems. Firearms like the Thomson Contender/Encore and Rossi are very popular because they offer popular calibers
that one can swap barrels easily and since they are break open and single shot there is no need for swapping bolt faces or magazines.

The Thomson is super popular for pistol ....


But the same company offers the rifel stock and barrels to quickly convert to rifle in the same action...






They offer popular calibers and also unchambered barrels in many calibers to be chambered in whatever wildcats.

These pistols are very popular with shilluete shooters as well as hungers from small critter hunting to large buffalo, elk and moose hunting.

Rossi is another company that offers affordable barrel swap platforms...





Another one that is very popular for the rifle type is NEF (New England Firearms) that is the same as H&R (same company )

These are very popular for being affordable from entry level youth stocks for 22LR fun to the largest calibers....

Here a bit of history on this company...

NEF/H&R makes also a great simple survival firearm...

Lmao...good to see firearms related threads so alive.

So the idea is to cut and ream a shogtun barrel. Then tap it and thread it to take the different calibers.
for a barrel nut I was thinking an extended piece that can take either the savage or AR15 wrench. But in reality one could not beat a standard hex shape from a regular bolt.
This would make super economical to shoot different calibers whether is for fun or hunting.

So the stubbed action would look like this....
