OK, I know I am crazy, but has anyone tried to mill down a raised rib on a SxS without taking the barrels apart? The barrels and ribs are brazed. I want to lighten a SxS and am thinking about milling down the raised rib to get it as low as possible, and then putting in a ball end mill and making it a sunken game rib.
I can see how I could set the barrels up and securely hold them in place. I would also have the bottom of the barrels supported in places to reduce/eliminate barrel deflection. It seems possible, but yet at the same time I still think it is crazy.
Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
