A job nicely done...

Have converted a few guns to 5". Found a rusty 5" 27-2 and had it made into a .41 Magnum. Was going to have the original cylinder rebored and make it .41 Special but it was too pitted so replaced it with a Model 58 cylinder and had the barrel shank cut back... It is out in Idaho right now as my friend Ted needed a .41 to develop his .41 loads for his ammo company, Lost River Ammo. My gun is the one pictured...

.41 Magnum 215 grain Keith Style lead Semi Wadcutter at 1,210 FPS. (100 RND)

By starting off with a 5" barrel didn't have to worry about remounting the sight, which would be difficult on a tapered barrel. The 27 barrel was rebored and is very accurate.

Before going all .41, I was a .44 Special fan...had the whole 24-3/624 set of six guns...3", 4" and 6.5"...

Glad things are working out well for you...Bob
