conversion

I recently picked up a rough Knight LK-93 at a pawn shop for not much money and decided it would be a good project platform. I looked at a commercial conversion kits, but the price was prohibitive. I decided it was also unnecessary. Instead I modified the original hammer and build a new nipple...

Is it possible to convert a SAR 2000 9mm to 10mm using the slide, barrel, and mags from a tanfoglio Witness? I know it may seem a bit pointless instead of just buying a 10mm witness, but I prefer the more classic, no-rails aesthetic of the SAR better and I'm curious if it would work. Being that...

Hey everybody, I recently picked up a Siamese 45/70 rebarrel. She sits in an extra heavy stock that I have already bedded and am refinishing. Receiver and barrel both look excellent except for some thinned bluing but I also plan to rust blue entire thing as well. Anyway my real problem seems to...

Hi all. This is my first post, and it's about...well, the title gun lol. I have the sheriff's model, and it's a recent buy, I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. I measured the bore and the chambers with my digital calipers and came out to a range between .43 and change to .445. Keep in mind...

Hello all, I am looking into getting a cartridge conversion of a Uberti Colt 1851, and I have been wondering how powerful of a black powder cartridge I could use in the gun, and what I could feasibly make for it. I am hoping that maybe some of you others have already tried this out on your own...

I am very much interested in buying a conversion cylinder for the "PIETTA 1851 YANK SNUBNOSE REVOLVER .44" however when looking at the Howell 45LC conversion cylinders for the 1851 in .44 Cal it shows them being a 5 shot cylinder however the 1851 Army and Navy are 6 shot. How does this work...

I have a number of Glocks 20 and 21s. Lately though I've been thinking of trying out 9mm ofr the range. I know Glocks in 40 S&W can be converted into 9mm but can a large frame Glock like a 20 or 21 be converted into 9mm? And will Glock 17 magazines actually work in a Glock 20/21? And how about a...

hello everyone, I’m posting this to gain advice and learn from anyone’s experiences about converting a 9mm BHP to 357 Sig. I’m looking to do this with an Israeli hi power in 9mm. I know about the BHP 357 sig KKM barrels but from what I’ve read on other forums not many people have converted the...

Greetings all, first post! I am interested in shortening my Browning A5, but am having a hard time nailing down precise definitions. What I currently have is a 20-something inch barrel and a shoulder stock. I plan to shorten the barrel to less than 18", but overall length will exceed 26" (the...

Hey pals. From time to time I've seen Mini-14s in .17 Remington. As far as I know, and correct me if I'm wrong, Ruger never offered a factor carbine in said. Out of historical curiosity, who was behind these conversions? How do they run? Thanks!

Does anyone know if the Kimber rimfire target conversion kit for the 1911 will fit any 1911 platform, particularly the Rock Island Armory? I have a brand new kit that I dug up out of the safe, never even used it and sold my Kimber, but I do have a RiA 1911 in 38 super so I was wondering if I...

Hello everyone, i have an ambitious project i want to start. I've been doing lots of searching trying to find a 45 70 cartridge converted walker to no avail. However this website did come up a lot in the searches so i figured this is a good place as any to post this. What i want to do is get...

I'm very new to blackpowder shooting and I've never had more fun shooting than with black powder guns. I've already got a '58 Pietta, but now I want to experience shooting the .36 and .31 caliber guns. The Pietta Pocket is next on my list and I'm only looking at the steel frame model as in the...

I'd like to know if anyone here knows if CCI shotshells can be used in cap and ball conversions? I'd specifically like to know if they can be used in '58 Remington's, but really want to know if they can be used in any conversions. I'm a new forum member here and this is my first post. I've...
