Smith & Wesson revolvers are among the finest ever made. No other double-action (and very few single-actions, for that matter) are as finely fitted, finished and detailed.   Bowen Classic Arms is pleased to offer high-quality caliber conversions and related services for these great guns, working as far as possible in the factory style to maintain proper form, finish and function.

 

SMITH & WESSON SERVICES 

No. SW01 Simple Caliber Conversion Available for most S&W revolvers though, by far, the most popular subject is the Heavy Duty N-frame fixed-sight model. Includes reboring, re-rifling, recrowning and remarking the barrel, rechambering the cylinder and a dip blue of the whole gun. Calibers include .38-40, .44-40, .44 Special and .45 Colt. J and K-frame guns are suited to a variety of small-bore caliber conversions but may require the installation of barrels and cylinders. J-frame calibers include the .22 Long Snapper and the .25 Flea; K-frame chamberings include the .25-20, .256 Win. Mag. and the .32-20. Please inquire for details.
