    Call'em and find out, unless they have changed the design of the receiver

    I would think they could

    The question I have is would they??

    they are real good about repairs not sure were they would be on something like that.

    Call Ruger. I tried to get them to do a set for me . They refused.

    Ruger does not do custom work....just mass production.

    If that is true, it might be cheaper to buy a RR set up with 30" tubes and sell the other

    For the price of a set of new barrels, or a new Ruger, I would sell the one I have(or keep it), and get a New CZ...they are much nicer than the Rugers to start.

    you CANNOT be serious about the CZ. They look nice but are mechanically inferior to the Ruger. Ruger made a 30 inch sporting clays model. Mine has over 200,000 rounds thru it with no failures. Try THAT on a CZ

    Actually, I am dead on serious. For the price of a new Ruger, I would opt for a better CZ. Before that I would go with a Select Energy Winchester like my TRAP gun, that is ported and back bored, and has an adjustable stock. Rugers, quality, along with their customer service(will not fit another set of barrels to a customers gun), has taken a back seat.
