Did you attempt the conversion and if so exactly what lock in size did you use and where did you get it please post detailed information. Because I am in the same boat but I have many years of CNC milling and Shop experience and I see it highly feasible to do the conversion. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Sir. I can't remember the member that talked me through it, but it wasn't too tough. The hardest thing was timing the sleeve so the open port was pointed down the bore when tightened up to make the best use of the flash hole. I think the fellow's name was VAN, but I could be wrong because I don't remember much of anything anymore.
Yeah. Some days I do pretty well while other day's I'm like an addled goose. I wake up in a new world every morning. I forget the simplest things. Oh well, it sure beats the alternative and I consider myself very blessed. The conversion part has to be made using a fine thread metric bolt. Cut the head off, drill and tap the center for a flash hole liner, then cut to length and create the port. Timing is everything on the port and getting the old drum out was a little tough as you can tell by the marks I left on the barrel.
Wouldn’t it be something to have the time we have now and the health and energy of even just 10 years ago. But as you said Life is a blessing.
