S&W Model 41 Project

The US Army also has a much bigger play money bucket then all of us here put to-gether. Unlimited ammo supply as well.
 
Really neat project. The 41 with the field barrel is a beauty as well. Let us know how they shoot.

Here is mine. EWK did the vent rib and threaded the barrel. Nill grips. Robar NP3 finish.
 
I forgot all about this thread of posts. All of a sudden I'm getting likes for something I didn't even remember responding to. I'm glad it came back.

I had many questions right away but they did get answered. I did not want to steal or high jack the O.P..

I want one. It seems like an "inexpensive" conversion. I really like it/them.

Although Bob would want me to shoot it more, I just can't bring myself to do that. His, (my,) Loveless S&W 41 Field Gun is still almost new, and I don't want to devalue it. I only paid $816.00 for it on Gunauction so I'm doing OK if I keep shooting it. Some.

I think I should get a modern conversion and shoot the heck out of it, even though the Loveless conversion was just $262.00 on a supplied 41. If Bob liked you, if you could wait, and IF Bob didn't ask for it back, which he did numerous times. According to Jim Merritt, Bob and him only made @ 34 of them so Bob spread them around. :rolleyes:

The "Gun Digest Book of Pistolsmithing" by Jack Mitchell has an article about this exact style of customizing for the M41.
