NMBH convertible or not

[rockman]

I have a 45lc NMBH and would like to shoot 45 ACP, is it as simple as buying a 45 ACP cylinder? Will a convertible cylinder fit a "regular" frame? I checked search but could not find it.

thanks,

Hey,
Welcome to the forum.
Yes the convertible BH 45 acp and 45 Colt BHs are on the same frame.

Could simply drop in and be ready to go. Could drop in and require timing/fitting.

Manufacturing tolerances are such that each cylinder is fitted to each individual revolver. In my experience, seldom does a cylinder from one gun properly fit another. Measuring your old one before buying a new one helps......and bear in mind that "longer" is easier to deal with than "shorter".

Hopes this helps.

As long as they're not creating a new model, Ruger might fit a cylinder for you. I had them install a 9mm cylinder to a .357 NMBH years ago.

Compare the price quote they give you to trading in your pistol for a new one.
