IF you get a gunsmith to build one, make sure he undertands what that extra inch on the barrel does. It is a nightmare trying to get the bottom of the locking lugs of the barrel straight enough to make the thing accurate. Most problems occur there. Alot of people build them but don't understand that with standard size bottom lugs off a goverment model, the barrel will start to tilt, before the bullet exits.
Once done right, they are an imporvement over the latter. i have built one in 10mm, and have killed several nice boar hogs with it.
