For conversion BP revolver owners

there's people on here that spout off stuff they know nothing about just because they think it sounds good.

I represent that comment! :)

Gonna email Howells..... again. I really don't have the patience to wait for me to make a conversion cylinder. Does anyone know if anyone makes or made .32 S&W cylinders for the '63 Pocket Remington?
 
well it's done. i ordered a 45ACP cylinder from brownells yesterday for my uberti 1873 c&p. it was at my shop when i came in this morning. it had me a little worried when i went to put it in the gun and it would not fit. i was hoping it would drop right in like my 1873 c&b pietta. i put a 45LC cylinder in it. the only thing i done was some file work on the firing pin. with the uberti i had to fit the cylinder to the gun. i filed some off the cylinder bushing and it dropped right in.the timing is prefect. done the same thing to the firing pin as the pietta. all i can say is wow. it shoots perfect. and i love the 45acp. $22 dollars for a box of 50.pmc bronze. 230 grs.fmj...i well put some pic's up of both guns before long.
 
Breed, it was a Uberti Colt cylinder you bought at Brownell's or a conversion cylinder?

Fine job either way ... I have a Uberti 1873BP and the firing pin is removeable it's pinned. Don't make me do it :O)
 
smoking gun i ordered one for a 1873 uberti cattleman. stock number 935-000-252. product description 402005 cylinder. price $127.81. and 37.50 for next day. grand total 165.31. it's the best $165 dollars i'v spent in a long time. all you have to do is file a little off the cylinder bushing and you may have to hit the barrel one or two times with the file. i did not even take the firing pin off the gun. you need to be able to eye ball the pin with the hammer down to know when you have it right. i like to put a round in the cylinder and spin it around so that with the hammer down you can look at the depth of the pin to the primmer. i like to use the bp firing pin so i don't have to touch the hole for it. just round the pin off so that it hits in side the primmer. you don't have to touch the flat side of the pin and very little off the right side. and it still fills the firing pin hole nice. it may have taking me 20 minutes to do it all. it leaves a nice D shape indent in the primmer. trust me go with the 45acp. it's so much nicer to walk in a store and buy 45acp and not have to try and find cowboy 45lc.
 
at brownells. they are the only one that had them in stock. i am really liking this 45acp. it's got some kick to it.:cool:
