Recently I got to thinking about the Blackhawk in .30 Carbine.
It occurred to me that I have shot .32 ACP and .32 S&W Long in .308 barreled rifles using chamber converters.
I see spare Blackhawk cylinders for the larger caliber Blackhawks on auctions sights from time to time and got to wondering......
Might one ream out say a "spare" 9x19mm or .45 Colt Blackhawk cylinder and then sleeve the individual chambers and then cut chambers in the new sleeves for say .327 Magnum and or .32 ACP and use such a cylinder in a .30 carbine Blackhawk?
I realize the issues with bottle neck cartridges in revolvers, but might a .30 Mauser/7.62 Tokerev made up cylinder work as well?
I realize that there would be considerable work involved and the fitting of a new cylinder to a Blackhawk is sometimes a pain and some times drop in but am just curious if such things might be do able.
Would be high on the "Neat-o-meter" to have a Blackhawk that could shoot any of the common "32" or "30" pistol cartridges.
