I have a Stevens 94 for the kids as they get older, with fitted .410, 20, 16 and 12 ga barrels. There are rifle barrels made for this action, but they are few and far between.
Can anyone suggest a shop that could take a standard rifle barrel, weld/solder on the hardware to fit it to this action, for a not unreasonable price? I'm thinking .22 hornet or .223, and perhaps .44 mag or .30-30

And yes, I'm aware this is odd.
 
I´ve been doing this type of conversions here in old Mexico all the time. buy a rifle barrel blank and make it to fit the inner diameter of your shotgun barrel with a lathe ( at the breech and at the muzzle), leave some room for air between the breech side and the muzzle check your headspace, port it near the muzzle then after shooting with it 10 to 15 shots, sweat solder if o.k. then cut the shotgun barrel near the muzzle and solder. you will have a semi suppresed sigle shot rifle with a varmint attitude. keep your caliber bellow 7x57. as the shotgun wall near the firing pin won´t hold up for larger caliber, believe me I know. the scope it in the barrel.
 
"semi suppressed" would still be illegal.

I had in mind using a commercial blank, welding on the catch for the forend and the block for the ejector/hinge, and just cutting an ejector to fit. As long as it centers correctly, that should be it. There is a company that makes drop-in adapters for the 12 ga barrel, but I think a dedicated barrel would be stronger and more accurate.
