Abilene,
Are you telling me that Uberti has the frames for the.44 and .45 Richards-Mason conversions more or less correct dimension wise  and they just went nuts with the Richards Type II frames and Cylinders?  I always thought all of the large caliber frames for cartridge conversion guns that Uberti made were oversize.

If the .44 and .45 R&M frames and cylinders are correct then I wonder if a '60 barrel from a Uberti percussion revolver would fit on that frame.  I guess I could do a heeled bullet...

Checking Starline 32/20 is Out of Stock /No Backorders at this time.
 I think they just did a run a short time back, no clue when they will start production again.

Well, the situation has changed.  First of all, after having the guns at a recent swapmeet, the owner did some more investigating and discovered his price was low, so now they are $2600 for the pair.  He told me he would still honor the original price to me, but the other thing is that I was mistaken about the caliber - they are not .38's, they are .44 Special.  And while I love .44 Special, I already have a pair of Colt's which I don't shoot that much any more, plus several Uberti guns in that caliber, so I shall be passing on these.  He is taking them to the SASS State match on Memorial day weekend, and if he doesn't sell there will take to a local shop for consignment.

The nice thing about shooting.32-20 is that it’s economical. Also the brass uses small pistol primers which are easy to get.

I do enjoy rereading older threads. Greyhawk, that is some very good shooting and i (myself) also shoot from the mag. as i think the powder placement (in loaded rounds) is more even verses single loading. It seems to make Extreme Spread more even and FPS closer.
