Pictures of chopped down snub bp revolver barrels

Blackpowderwarrior · Feb 5, 2024

Does anyone here have a chopped down black powder revolver.
I'm thinking of having @Jackrabbit1957 do some work on a new 1860 army of mine.
My thoughts for rhis uberti is chop barrel to 4.5 inches keep loading lever assembly and reattach with OEM part. Dovetail a new front sight
Skeletonize the hammer and let him do any internal work he wants.

I'm looking for pictures of yall who have chopped down yalls barrels before.

All I can tell you from personal experience is Jackrabbit1957 does excellent work, and you cannot go wrong with trusting him with the job.

Hello Blackpowderwarior,

That's about what I did with my 1851 Pietta Conversion.
But I left mine 5" long, 5 Shot Kirst in .45 Colt.
I cut it down with a hacksaw, then squred the muzzle in a mill.
Then I cut a crown with a 60 degree countersink by hand.

Here's the guy in question

Jackrabbit can do it and will do it right. Mine went ok but the first cut wasn't really straight. Luckily I got it square using a table-top disc sander. Pretty redneck but it looks okay to me.

He did a great job on a Pietta 1860 for me, only cut it to 6” though.

I did this one a few years back.

An oldy,

I also have an 1858 Brasser I cut down, I do have to admit that I got a little too thin right below the mainspring and it ended up cracking the frame there, been thinking on how to fix it, or looking for a new frame to rework it.

Here is a pic of them side by side.

I cheated and bought a Dixie Yank.

Dixie Gun Works - "Yank" Pietta 44 Stub Nose - Jan 2020

Sometimes you just get a gun just to play with. I handled this cut down "Yank" 44 and decided it just fit my hand too good to put down. I found the 3" barre...

I also have a Yank and an Ace. I just got a nice holster from Graveyard Jack for the Ace.
