Missionary, iirc, the 450 Alaskan can be formed from 50 110. If so, wouldn't a 50 Alaskan be another name for 50 110?
Mine has an undersized bore and very shallow grooves along with a 1/38 twist. Maybe a good candidate for jes to rebore, if he does that big of a bore.

Yes JES Reboring does the 50 AK. That is how our 86 OCT barrel became a 50 AK. We are very happy with this one.
The 50 AK is not as long as the 50-110. 2.1 just like 45-70. But you can seat long nosed bullets and still have plenty of space to pack 90 grains of 3F or enough 4198 to make a 525 grainer chug along at 2000 FPS from a 26" barrel safely. That is a whole lot of fun!
