The Redhawk, with its robust frame, large-diameter barrel shank and capacity for larger cylinder, is an excellent candidate for 5-shot caliber conversions. Like the 5-shot single-action cylinders, the bolt notches fall between the chambers rather than over them where the chamber walls are thinnest. The cylinder are also significantly longer, even in the  .41 and .44 Magnums, which allows the use of the heavy bullets necessary to effective big-game hunting performance. The distinctive, unfluted cylinders are chambered for the same cartridges as the 5-shot single-actions. The .50 Action Express cartridges are loaded and fired in full-moon clips much like those used on .45 ACP revolvers.

Each conversion includes a complete action/trigger tune, over-travel stop and an extra-length firing pin conversion. Caliber designations are remarked where appropriate. Please specify caliber and barrel length, where applicable. Various options, such as rear sights, shortened barrels, etc., are available. Please note: we recommend that the .475 Linebaugh be chambered only in the Super model Redhawk. Recoil is brutal in the standard model in this caliber.

Please note: We recommend the Super Redhawk (stainless .44 model only) be used for .475 Linebaugh conversions due to heavy recoil.
