LQ Jones Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 A buddy of mine out in New Mexico converted this for me a ways back. it originally had the ill-fated Kirst conversion that kept breaking firing pins and finally the recoil shield broke. He machined a new shield with locator tab & solid firing pin, and also Incorporated a Richard's Mason type rear sight on the shield. Hammer was flattened and hardened. Cylinder has safe notches between the chambers. Gun is reloaded by pushing out the wedge & removing the cylinder, or poking the empties out through the loading cut. It is .32 S&W. Still have the original CB cylinder also, but it will not function with the hammer modification. Just a fun little pocket pistol - withdrawn pending clarification. Thanks for looking.

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Whoever buys this, I have a nice Full Flap holster that would work well with this. My '47 is inside(not for sale), you can just barely see the Ivory grip inside. C'mon, buy both, ya know you want to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 LQ Jones, I don't have my books anymore, but someone has "Manufactured" a Firearm without a license. It is legal for you to do so, for yourself, bot NOT for sale. I strongly suggest you check with your local FFL to see if you can sell or ship it. The recoil shield modified for cartridge, makes it a "Firearm" in the books I had. It has also been modified in such a way as not to be a Percussion revolver. BATFE does NOT have a sense of humor and do not take prisoners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LQ Jones Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 Thanks for the heads up. Lots of gray area with these conversion cylinders for sure. "cartridge cylinder will ship separately." LQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I would think on the idea a bit first. Just taking the Cart. cylinder out might not be enough for this particular conversion. It would not work for transferring , say one of your modern Smith and Wesson revolvers! Your gun could be called remanufactured?? Just be carful, we do not want any of our own to get in any trouble.
