Nagant Revolver Cylinder Conversion

Does anyone around here know of or heard of DAW of missouri converting nagant cylinders to 7.62x25 Tokarev?

and or any company's doing caliber conversions?

or selling reasonable priced replacement cylinders of differing calibers?

I have heard many people say that the nagant revolver fires 32 S&W longs and 32H&R Magnums quite well but the 7.62 Tokarev REALLY interests me due to extremely cheap HIGH velocity ammuntion!

7.62x25 is way higher pressure than 7.62 Nagant. Such a conversion sounds very unsafe.

These conversions were advertised in "Shotgun News" some years back. Several are known to have blown up. Stay far away.

I know the difference in velocity and pressure....but i'm still curious because i heard of a guy that had it done and was chronographing 1160 fps out of an 800 fps pistol

Get the .32ACP cylinder if you want to shoot more commonly available rounds in your Nagant.

Destroy your firearm? You can replace a nagant. I wonder how easy it would be to replace your fingers? tokarev in a nagant is not wise and there's a reason you can't find anyone doing that anymore.
