I've home hobby fitted one set of barrels to make a two barrel set. The gun and barrel set were pre-1910 so wear plate was not an issue. I had to thin up the barrel lug by about 12 thousandths, and add a shim to the front lug to tighten the forearm. The cocking hook fit perfectly, but just as possibly may not have. I'll be the first to admit it was pure luck, rather than skill. In my case the barrels were 24" cut from ebay for $80 delivered. I made no changes to the original gun. So, no big loss, if it didn't work. In hindsight, I'd suggest to get a pro involved. There are alot of variables involved to do the job right.
