Next weird question.
Is it feasable to convert a Schofield or Webly reproduction revolver to .45 Auto Rim? being able to load it with full moon clips would be very cool.

What Webly reporduction revolvers? I had a .455 Webley that had been rechambered to .45 Colt. (I wish I still had it) and I've seen them rechambered to .45ACP/Auto Rim.

I don't know if the Schofield extractors are deep enough to allow the necessary amount to be taken off the back of the cylinder. And I don't think the cylinder is big enough to take 6 rounds of AR with its large rim. I have not checked on either of these but they are the most obvious questions.
Of course, I won't ask why anyone would tear up an expensive gun that shoots a hard to get cartridge (.45 S&W) to get it to shoot a harder to get one (.45 AR). Jim |
