Finally took my Ruger Old Armys to the range with the R&D Conversion cylinders fitted.
First things first. As a drop in part, they are almost drop ins. I got two, stainless, one for each revolver and had one that was tight in one gun and the other was fine. Swapped them around and both were good. The one was just the tiniest bit tight but the other was still good. The one cylinder is a gnats hair longer than the smoother running one and is tighter to the forcing cone by .002.
These things loaded with black or Pyrodex and over powder wad and round ball and lube over the ball are crazy accurate so I was hoping for good accuracy using the conversions.
Nope.
Not disappointed at all.
Off hand, one handed, they put every shot I fired into an 8 inch Shoot and See target at 30 feet. Even my 12 year old son could hit with them. He's turning into a .45C nut like his dad.
Yes, they are cowboy load only but 850 fps with a 250 grain lead RNFP is more than enough horsepower.
All in all, I'd say a very good deal and a very good day. Two new revolvers basically for $500.
