Marshal TKD, Sass # 36984L Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I know Cody Conager does the 45 ACP conversion for the rifle. Is there any other gunsmiths doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker McNeely Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 http://www.thesmithshop.com/cbs45.html Here is the address to get the carrier. They may have info on who still does the conversion. I’m not a ‘73 smith, so I don’t know if you need more than a carrier and barrel swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 The 1860 Henry does not require this device. A ten-cent set screw can be added to the carrier to act as a cartridge stop. Guns with side loading will require the spring stop, as shown in the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 You might take a look over on the WB forum, I think there has been some discussion in the past. And I'm sort of thinking Goatneck Clem might have been one who did that conversion before he passed, not sure, though (not that that helps you).

We had several conversations about them before Goatneck passed. Cody is the only one I know of doing the conversion to 45 ACP. JFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Roper Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Lefty Wheeler might be doing them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
