 :) CraigC  ;)

You're really gonna enjoy that Kirst 45 ACP conversion.  I built myself a pair for CAS as soon as the ACP conversion was announced.  They really shoot a treat.  The nifty "other" thing, with the ACP conversion, one can also run Cowboy 45 Special cases.  I load mine with 3f APP and have fitted 3 different barrels.  8" 1860 Pattern, 4 1/4" 1860 Pattern and 4 1/4 inch .44 Navy Pattern.

Have Lots and Lots of fun wid 'em

Thanks CraigC  for the opportunity!!

 Just for those interested in what was done, here's what's inside:
  First, the arbor was "reinstalled" and heavily torqued.
   Coil action springs, bolt block, action stop, interference pins (action screws can't get loose), action shield,  replaced thin hammer roller with wide roller,  trued recoil shield for conversion ring support ,  wedge modified for a "captured" wedge.

 The hammer has a hardened "firing plate" installed to contact the firing pin. That keeps the firing pin from degrading the soft hammer face. Also, there's no contact between the hammer and the conversion ring.  Another feature installed is an inside the frame adjustable trigger "over travel" stop.

Thanks again CraigC!!!

Mike

My top wish would be a pair of Remington 75's in 38-40. I suppose I could have the new 9mm version or the 357 version bored out, but I'd prefer it done at the factory. Cheaper that way. I bet 38-40 would sell more than 9mm.

Id let poi decide for you. That revolver was designed originally to shoot 200-215 gr bullets with around 21-23 grs of powder if thats important to you.

Here's an article well researched that touches on it, although you have to read it all:
