Pictures of a 327 Bearcat

[48flyer]

Here is my 327 Bearcat, built by John Powers of Magnolia, TX.
He learned his craft from Alan Harton, and was, apparently, a model student!
This thing is a real handful with 327's, so it gets fed a steady diet of 32 H&R Mags.

Let's try this with a new picture hosting site.

Was the barrel drilled and re-rifled or is it an after market barrel?

The barrel is new, the cylinder is a new 5 shot, and frame is opened up to accept the larger cylinder.
It has a new designed forcing cone and firing pin/bushing, as the recoil from the 327 will beat it up pretty bad. Between the builder and myself, there has only been about 4 cylinders of full house 327 put through it. It's much better with 32's
It definitely puts a smile on your face each time you pull the trigger!

I've been looking at this conversion myself, but just getting the 5 shot conversion in 32 H&R mag. Sweet gun!
