First, thanks to everyone who will will share knowledge to a sponge of a mind like mine that's trying to soak up everything I can before my kids start needing cash. My wife has nothing on my ability to squander. Past that, I know it is possible to buy a Ruger Bisley conversion from Brownell's that includes frame, hammer, trigger, and stuff. I own two old models that will become something worthy someday. As I look at the pics of the parts, they appear to be new model stuff. What happens between point A and point B? I'm not sure why I don't like the idea of an old gun being converted to a lawyerfied gun, but I don't. Thanks guys.

Personally, I prefer the transfer bar system. It's much safer and when tuned, can be as smooth as glass.

Safety is between the ears. As long as you know how to properly handle an Old Model, it is no more or less safe than a New Model.

Those conversion sets in Brownell's are for New Models. You will need to go to David Clements and get the OM Bisley hammer and trigger that he makes.
+1 on the slicked up NM. You get to keep the cylinder full too. The big thing that is missing is all the wonderful sounds that we love the OMs for...

You are making assumptions about the amount of activity between my ears.....  I still prefer the added safety built into the system when it comes to carrying a round under the hammer -- but that's just me. Safety? Between my ears? That's laughable! LOL! ;D ;D |

Axe,
You got that right! It is the sond of the OM that we really like. Like the pumping of a Model 12, the levering of a 94 winchester, the rumble of the Harley V-Twin and that of a rotory piston engine on a B-17. In the mind's eye/ear it is hard to see one without the other. Heck, you could add liver & onions as well as macaroni & cheese!

With a bit of welding you can use the original hammer if desired.   |
