I have a Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt. I was wondering if it could be easily adapted to use the .454 Casul five shot cylinder. The .454 uses the same frame, according to Ruger, but I don’t know if the pawl or linkage is the same.
Is this something that can be done without major issues with timing? Could it be made a drop in like the .45 acp cylinder, or will I have to give up the six shot .45 Colt capability?
I know my way around a ‘75 Remington or any of the cap ‘n’ ball guns, but other than a good cleaning, I’ve never been deep into a Ruger.
