Patrick Sweeney Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I had a customer once who wanted me to take his 625 and ream the chambers to .45 Win Mag, for use on pins. (Like .45 +P wasn't enough?) I turned him down, but someone else didn't. What was really strange was that he didn't get it Mag na Ported, which I would have assumed would be standard for hard-kicking pin whacking guns. Seen anything stranger? Just curious.

jhgtyre Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 It isn't a conversion but the Thunder Five is certainly wild. Loaded with 5 .410 shells it would be a great anit-carjacking gun. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 How about a S&W 610 reamed out to 10mm Magnum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPSC CHIK1 Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 a local guy shoots ICORE matches with a 10 shot H&R .32 magnum. DVC SharonAnne L2387 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Sweeney Posted January 16, 2003 Author Share Posted January 16, 2003 ICORE allows it, .32 is "big enough." I think someone even made an N frame S&W into a (9, 10, 11, ?) hi-cap .32. If you need a make-up shot in ICORE your score is going to sjck anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniele Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 what about converting S&W 686 to .40 S&W caliber? Do you know any gunsmith offering such thing or someone who did it by himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmallPaul Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Bottleneck cartridges don't seem to work well in revolvers, witness the 221 Jet or the .44 Mag necked down to .357 conversion that somebody was doing some years back in an attempt to reach ultra velocities. Seems the cases backout on firing and bind on the recoil shield big time! As far as "Hi-cap" .32 Mags for ICORE are concerned, there are three that I know of, an 8 shot made by guy who made the first 7 shot .357 cylinders, (John Bauman (sp?)), a nine shot and the ultimate a 10 shot. Those are the only three I am aware of. None of these revolvers seem to be currently campaigned.

Not really wanting that kind of gun, but a 9x25 dillon revolver would be about as obnoxious as you can get. TEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
