Thinking about converting my .44 Navy to a .38 conversion like is avavilable for the .36 Navy. Does anyone out there have both revolvers? If you do can you please compare the cylinders. Maybe by putting the .36 cyl. on the .44 frame and barrel and see if everything works properly. Would greatly appreciate any help on this. If the same I am thinking of having my barrel lined for the .38 and getting a gated conversion from R&D. Also sent this e-mail to R&D and am awaiting their reply. "Is it true that you will soon be offering such a thing (http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=967945)?
I would love to have one but fail to see how this is possible. Please tell me this is true. And can you tell me how you are getting it to work with out wiping out the ratchet on the cylinder. Thanks in advance. Eagerly awaiting your reply." Also sent them this e-mail to answer another question I had a while back. "1851 Pietta .44 Navy and 1860 Pietta .44 Army Cylinders. I have been told by a few people that these cylinders are indeed the same. I am just wondering why (if not) the .44 Army conversion would not work on the .44 Navy? Thanks in advance. Eagerly awaiting your reply.
