Personally, I think making what you want is a lot cooler than just buying something else.

I see you also changed the thumb latch, bet you are going to use it for a pin gun .

One question on your very neat conversion job. When installing the 7 shot cylinder were you required to change to a hand specifically designed for the 7 shot cylinder or were you able to fit a normal 586/686 hand?

I already did the SSR conversion 1st.
The only thing I had to do on this conversion was increase the cyl. to barrel gap. it was around 2 and I went to 4.

Looks worth it just not have that 'Klinton' lock like the factory 686+ does.

BTW, nice looking piece. And what do you have to do to the action for that conversion. Timing etc.

No action work required. It has a Clark Custom action job. It is timed very well without and changes.
