Since many useful and interesting chamberings are not offered in production Ruger revolvers, Bowen Classic Arms produces caliber conversions for most any suitable cartridge. Some are based upon modifications to existing barrels and cylinders while others require custom-fabricated components. Each conversion includes the necessary barrel and cylinder work, proper markings and rebluing. In some cases, aluminum grip frames will be refitted and refinished. Please specify caliber. Options include any compatible cataloged modifications such as tuning, sights, coloring, etc. Available in stainless steel and includes a pin-in front sight blade. Fitted auxiliary cylinders are also available.
 

No. RS05 Simple Caliber Conversion Factory cylinders are rechambered and barrels rerifled (in some cases, modified factory barrels may be utilized). While this procedure is applicable to nearly any revolver, it is especially suited to Old Model .357 medium-frame guns. Typical caliber choices are .38-40, .44-40, .44 Special, .45 Paradox and .45 Schofield. Some OM .357s will have a .44 caliber height front sight and may regulate properly. Most do not and will require the optional pin-in front sight blade.
