...Is this the one you are asking about?
If so that is the new Kirst/Strite 22 conversion.
I can get ya one ...
This one:Yes, that is the one. Interesting but not my cup of tea. I refer the Colt stlye of revolver. I have used the Remingtons and they do not feel as comfortable in my hands aas the 60s or 61s.
I did convert one of the little Pocket Remingtons to 22 Long Rifle. It must have been in the 70s. Sleeved the barrel and cylinder, cut the chambers and used the hammer unmodified if I recall correctly. The trigger gave me fits so I replaced it an installed a triggerguard from a full sized Remington. As I remember, it was a bit of work but it went bang each and every time I pulled the trigger and there was a loaded cartidge under the hammer.
I haven't really "worked" this conversion out. But yes with cheapo 22 LR ammo it holds about 1.5 to 2 inches at 20 paces.....For sure makes CAS practice cheap!Thankyou!
That is exactly what I wanted to know about the converter.
I wonder how accurate they are? Probablly good enough to hold "a minute of soda can", I would guess.
The converter brings up several applications that I can think of for our beloved 58's.
