Been trying to do this for the past little while.
So far I know that the barrel, cylinder, barrel wedge are defenitly interchangable. However, upon recieving my new backstrap for the 1860 army (I wanted a steel one) it is defenitly bigger than the older one. This also means that the grips and the trigger guard are different sizes as well...
I'll have to order those later.
Is there anything else that I'm going to need here? I ordered a screw set as well and the hammer screw does not fit properly. The screw is of a slightly larger diameter than the navy, and it doesn't fit into the hammer...
the original reason I did this was becuase I bought a navy in 44, wanting to keep somewhat true to the original colts, I decided to convert it to an army that was 44...
Your help would def be appreciated
Thanks guys.
*edit*
btw, I have to keep the frame becuase its registered with the government, another reason for the conversion.
