back to the original question
1.Its very hard to find a conversion cylinder marked for an ASM
your looking at a company than no longer exist
2. Easiest to convert are both pietta and uberti as the conversion cylinders both readily available for both.
back to part 1. now saying that is one thing. if you had other cylinders and guns from other makers you might just might be able to use a cylinder from another maker. the Dimensions of the arbor shaft and total cylinder would have to match along with the timing. Same time going into battery would have to match 100%.. Now unless you are an experienced machinist and a gunsmith would i not recommend doing such a thing. If you are looking for that drop in cylinder and or the cylinder that can be done with simple modifications. Well it does not exist for an ASM
Can anyone tell me if there are conversion cylinders available for ASM colts?
I have a '51 and a '60 both in .44 and was interested in converting 1 or both to cartridge. If not what brand repro is the best/easiest to convert?
