So I made this thread a few days ago and wanted to do a more technical based thread on actually how I should build it/if anyone had experience.
And just to get it out of the way, the "why" is because I have a stocked handgun fetish So my basic plan is something like this: And this: I'm not going to worry about it being all that QD or anything this time around, just figure retained thumb/allenhead-screws would be just fine. As for attaching it, I think that simply drilling and tapping the frame 2x on the bottom and 1x up on to would be adequate correct? I was thinking of using my current .357 blackhawk as a host vs getting a .44 mag or .45 or something but now I'm leaning towards a whole different gun in one of the latter two calibers. So circling around, what would have a suitable frame? I do know it'll need to be similar to the Blackhawk's frame unless yall have a better idea So any input? Advice? Interest? Experience? I'll take what I can get |

Mateba Carbine's are the way to go....
My 357 would be an SBR in the USA as it has a 13" barrel |

Rossi makes a revolver carbine. Cutting down the barrel on one of these is the simplest and cheapest way by far. http://i.imgur.com/8BHPFDS.jpg View Quote Mehhhhh....those are all kinds of messed up. Because Taurus and that they've got a "forcing cone" of sorts instead of going from chamber to barrel, it goes into an oversized cone then to the actual rifling |

Silenced Nagant revolver SBR?
From my experience with a Glock .40 SBR, I would recommend doing the smaller caliber. Handguns are just so lightweight that the recoil becomes significantly annoying when shooting a handgun-turned-SBR. |

Black powder guns aren't legally considered guns, and you could easily attach a stock to a black powder revolved without any legal hassle.

View Quote If the nagants weren't so crude I'd fo on that I see where you're coming from though, it's just that there really isn't much out there in the world of longer barreled .357 revolvers (I want this to be kinda my "hunting" gun and feel a 6" may be a lil short) |

On the .44" Mag & the .22" WMR? I'll have a look @ the Clearance .22" WMR when I get back to work. |

IIRC, a buddy of mine had one and it measured something like .30 cal (or damn close) |

uberti makes a revolving carbine in .45 colt, 44-40 and others too if I recall.
it is an 1873 clone but be easy to modify once stamp came back |

Why don't you go the way the original Colt revolvers did it?
One of the action screws is extended on both ends acting as the upper mount/pivot - them the stock clamps to the bottom of the grip frame. You can see it here... http://www.icollector.com/Colt-single-action-army-revolver-45-Colt-caliber-7-1-2-barrel-blue-and-case-hardened-finish-ha_i8787591 Good luck, Bob S. |

KAC use to make a suppressed SBR revolver. It was a proto type but I always wanted to replicate it. Does anyone have a photo of this weapon?

I'm not real fond of it but may be an interesting new field to get into I had a Pietta .44-caiber 1858 from Cabela's that was astoundingly accurate, powerful, and very well-made. I kept wanting to get the stock for it, too, but more pressing matters came up before I was able. Still, I highly recommend that gun if you're looking for something like it. |

Since you want to hunt with this, I'd check state regs before buying a cap and ball revolver. Not all states allow hunting with them.
If it were me, I'd choose a Smith or Colt revolver in a caliber beginning with "4". I personally would not hunt medium or large game with a .357 (but just my opinion... Many animals have been killed with it). I'd personally choose .44 mag as I am already invested in the caliber (ammo, components, dies, etc). |

I looked into the power and such and it seems like .44 C&B is similar to .38 spl. It'd work but I'd be limited to around maybe 30 yards and I'm not too hot on that... But as a range toy? Hell yeah |

Make the revolver rifle from the anime "Wolf's Rain" http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk172/UncannyGarlic/quentgun.jpg http://toboe.t.o.pic.centerblog.net/8dkq682q.gif haha. Not the most practical design. Dont know if the lever is supposed to be to pen the cylinder, or cock the hammer (or just the artists misunderstanding of guns). But always thought a large caliber, pump action revolver rifle would be amazing.... View Quote Taurus actually made one for the Brazilian market. Apparently they were funky to use |

Quoted: Taurus actually made one for the Brazilian market. Apparently they were funky to use View Quote Apparently DBL action revolver rifles are classified as semi-autos in Brazil or one of another of Taurus' markets, hence the lever action. Sad we didn't get any - quite a collector's piece. ETA: Why not just get a Judge rifle, once you get your stamp, just have the correct bbl length threaded for the Rossi frame, screw in & pin. If you want a different caliber, you'd need a new cylinder machined, but it's long enough for .357" Maximum or even some rifle rounds. |

If you really like the black powder non-SBR, go ahead and SBR a cartridge gun. |

Honestly, I'm probably doing both I'm picking up a donor .357 6.5" Blackhawk off of a buddy in need today and I'll use it as my host. Not optimal but it'll be fun and work out. I'll get the C&B during the wait as my 50 state legal travel gun |

Thanks Didn't have a chance to get our Judge rifle out last night, but did see it's an 8 shot .22"LR/WMR, so @ least some of the .22" ones come w/ a spare cylinder. I did look @ the bbl on a Taurus Judge in .45" Colt, and I don't see any forcing cone - just a squared off revolver bbl. |
