Shotgun to a Double rifle? Possible?

Good photo.
My Simson Suhl .405 WCF worked out well too, and it too was done by an experienced gun maker. It has become a favorite of mine, taking a variety of big game from hogs to red deer and Nilgai:

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.
