Frame swap possible?

[BisleyGripped]

I found a Bisley New Model Single Six on Gun-Broker today and saw a SS grip frame and hammer on a blued gun (Auction # 135229788). I would like to buy one of these and swap the frame and hammer (and odd parts)
to my New Model Single Six, but am unsure if it's a straight drop in, mild fitting needed, or major difference. This seems like a Bearcat frame almost from the way the grips look, or is it just me barely awake from a nap? :roll: Anyone familiar? I want to wait a couple of months before buying one, so is this a common piece or do I jump now? I believe a saw another just like it two weeks ago.
Thanks,
Ole Bis

It all depends on the vintage of the parts. Older Bisley grip frame on a current production Single-Six? I believe a major mismatch at the "ears" surrounding the hammer well would occur.

There are many other combinations that may or may not result in a "nice" fit.

Current production parts should swap around on current production guns.

JMHO,
