Lee, Yes but not recommended, the frame was opened way up to take a lot bigger cylinder, it is owned by gunsmith that does not work on single actions anymore, "to much work for the money" the biggest he would make for a customer was a 41mag single six, I asked him about the safety margin, and he said 2 things, first the cylinder wall is thicker than a stock blackhawk chambered in .45 measured at the thinnest point (the cylinder bolt notches), and second there wasn't a safety margin and wouldn't sell it. he calls it "chewy" because under recoil it tends to bite. Thanks for clarifying. Not sure I'd want to squeeze all that into a Single-Six, but it's neat to know it can be done. -Lee www.singleactions.com |

That 414 reminds me.... I have got to get a big bore Harton gun to go with my 475/50 "set".... Right after I have a custom 414 and 375 built on some nice shooter grade Maximums.. Gary Reeder tells me he has chamber reamers waiting for me...  |

Boge, I was wondering how long it was going to take for you to break out those little 32's. Very nice.

17tombstone. To my eyes your .500LB is absolute perfection! Beautiful and set up just right.

Thanks for the kind words. I saved up a while for it but for me it was worth it. It was actually my first custom.
