Hello
I picked up a Pietta 51 navy brass frame in .44 cal. The revolver is engraved..i assume laser engraved..but anyways I'm looking to cut the 7.5 barrel down to a 5.5" barrel to be more useable to me. My question is..is it worth the work to cut and recrown the barrel and dovetail a new sight and new loading lever retainer or should I try and trade the 7.5 barrel for a short barrel or maybe just swap the whole gun off for a sheriff's model of some sort...
Thank you
