Howdy,
I've been thinking about a 1875 Remington clone in .44 special, to compliment my .45 Colt Remmie. I figured there'd be two ways to get it, either A. Buy a gun in .44-40, a .357 magnum cylinder to be reamed out, and then swap the cylinder out, or B. Buy a gun in .357 Magnum and ream the barrel and cylinder. I figure the former might be just a bit cheaper, but understand there might be headspacing issues.
This is purely hypothetical for now, as with a wedding and honeymoon coming up, the money just isn't there,but I figured I'd ask, if only to sate curiosity.
Thanks!
