I HAVE A 6" 45 COLT ANACONDA THAT I SENT TO JRH IN THE EARLY PART OF THE 21st CENTURY WITH AN XTRA 44 MAG CYLINDER, WHICH HE TIGHT CAMBERED TO 45 COLT AND FITTED TO THE ANACONDA. MOST OF MY 45 COLT FIELD WORK GOES TO MY BISLEYS, AND SOME TO MY REDHAWKS AND S&W MOUNTAIN GUN. AND WELL THE COLT GETS NEGLECTED. SNCE I WAS NOT THE WINNING BIDDER ON THE RECENT GB BOWEN SRH 45 COLT CONVERSION WITH AN ANACONDA BARREL, AND SINCE THE REDHAWK/ANACONDA GUNS END UP AROUND 4", I HAVE DECIDED TO SATISFY MY REHAWK/ANACONDA LUST BY TURNING MY 6" ANACONDA INTO A SHORTER BARRELED ANACONDA. I HAVE A 4" 45 COLT ANACONDA BARREL IN MY PATRS cache AND AM WONDERING HOW HARD IS A BARREL SWITCH ON AN ANACONDA?

In theory, it should be easier to swap anaconda to anaconda. The anaconda to ruger requires more work.
JRH is putting an anaconda barrel on a blackhawk for me. Maybe you should call him. He knows much about the double actions.

I’m wondering if it would be easier to chop and remount the front sight instead of rebarrel.

TRAPR: THE LETTERING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BARREL IS TOO FAR FORWARD TO MAKE A CHOP JOB PRACTICAL.
PROFESSOR: WHEN I SENT JRH MY ANACONDA, AMONG OTHER MODS, I ASKED THAT HE CROWN THE BARREL BUT THE BARREL's END JUST DID NOT LEND ITSELF TO THAT. A CHOPPED BARREL WOULD BE A "blank canvas".
