SBH Grip Frame

[Chief_10Beers]

I'm looking into buying a SS SBH Grip Frame ( From the 5.5 inch Model KS-45N ) for my .44 Magnum BH. I know I need the Hammer Spring, Hammer Strut, Hand Grip Locator Roll Pin, Grips, Trigger Spring Cross Pin and SS Screws. Have I covered everything?....................................... ..

I'm also want to install the XR3 frame from the .44 to my single-six so I think I'm ok there parts wise...............................

 

[Chief_10Beers]

Must be I'm ok with my parts list :? Any tips or tricks in fitting a new grip frame?......................................................

You may encounter some "visual" issues, since the "height" of the grip frames has changed a bit, especially with respect to the current XR-3 models.

Your parts list looks good.

Thanks for the "Heads Up", I guess I'll find out when I try to fit the Grip Frame from the 44 to the Single-Six and vise-a-versa just to see how it will pan out.......................................

I swamped a dragoon grip frame into my NMBH without changing any other parts. Did I err in doing this? I did change the hammer for other reasons though.

If it fit and functions, it's good. You apparently swapped parts from similar guns, ie, both New Models or both Old Models . . . although it'ds possible to use a NM grip frame on an OM gun with some "considerations".

 

[pvtschultz]

Yeah, it was NM to NM.

I did the same thing with a NM .45 Blackhawk, but no hammer change.

I like it.

You will have all the parts needed for the swap by stripping the take off frame of parts. The only possible thing you will need is a hammer spring/strut if you have one with a lock and will be replacing it with a non lock frame.

Swap the 50th 44 to the 22, then take the parts from the 22 frame and use them in the Super frame.

Here is a picture of a new XR-3 on a Single Six. Straight forward swap.
