nothing put sg boogie stainless steel spring set in same spgs he uses in his short stroke kit 6 springs and thought it might work w/out replacing the firing pin spg and it does most of the time out of 60 shots have 2 that i have to go around again on so will hopefully put that spg in and if i get hung up lefty or gs will bail me out on looking at the sass chronicle article by boogie jan 2013 he shows blown up picture of firing pin and the housing back appears to be beveled so you can at least get in the frame and check your line up before driving it in wish me luck so why do i want new spring it makes it easier to pull hammer for old old hands

I did send an E-mail to Gary and am awaiting a response. The 44 Uberti Remington 1858 conversion uses 45 Colt cartridges. Is the bore of the 1875 Remington in 44 Rem. the same bore dimensions as the 1858? IF SO, could a 44 Remington 1875 Cylinder be re-chambered for the 45 Colt cartridge? I have 150 smokeless 44 Rem cartridges coming from CAD , a company specializing in obsolete cartridges. They use 4 gr of Bullseye instead of BP as a choice I can order lead from them but can't find dies or instructions on a heeled reloading setup. It would be MUCH easier if the cylinder were re-chambered, Where would I find info on the barrel dimensions, The cylinder dimensions are such that this re-chambering is probably feasible. Any help appreciated. Dirty Doc
