Hello together,
Im Frank Metzner from Germany.
Police-Captain, partime Gun-Writer and Shooting-Instructor.
I read long in this Forum.
Fantastic.
Very good informations.
MY QUESTION:
I want to bought an FA 97.
But I want it in .44 Magnum.
As you know, they dont build it in .44, only in some other calibers, like the .44 Special.
Do you think an good gunsmith can make an .44 Magnum from the .44 Special?
They can use the barrel and the "wheel", ...some modification?
Did somebody has expirience?
Best whises and thank you for your help.
Frank

A gunsmith could ream the cylinder to magnum. Do you reload? If so, no need to go with the magnum. Elmer Keith's old load 250 at 1200 using 2400 is all you need.

Hallo Captain Metzner, wie geht es ihnen heute. Wilkommen im forum.
Gewiss, ein kompetenter büchsenmacher konnvertierenn kann FA97 von 44 special, 44 magnum. Alles, was er verlangen würde, wäre der Zylinder ( "rad" ).
Natürlich, wenn sie wollte, dass die kaliber bezeichnung stempel oder graviert auf dem barrel würde er benötigt den gesamten revolver.
Viel Glück, und wenn das Projekt abgeschlossen ist wollen wir Bilder zu sehen.

I had spoken in the last 2 days with the best german gun-tuner.
F.M., the best-known german gun-tuner for aremican revolver/pistols will do it.
(And he will "change" two FA 83 in other calibers for his own too.)
As you know, we have an strong weapon law here in Germany and ather every modification, they had to bestet (one test is with 200% more power as Cip) by the state-agency.
After this it will get an stamp and now it is allowed for privat persons to shoot with it.
PLEASE:
Thank you very mutch.
I will do it.
After this, I give an report here, with photos.
:-)
Frank

I'm not a big 44 mag guy so don't have much ammo around to measure, but I think you may run into trouble with factory 44 mag ammo being too long for the cylinder. I know FA was discouraging the practice of hot 44 special loads for that gun, while at the same time promoting 30,000 cup loads in the 45 colt in the 97.

Certainly, a competent Gunsmith konnvertierenn can FA97 of 44 special, 44 magnum. Everything that he would require, would be the cylinder ( "Rad" ). Of course, if you wanted the caliber name stamp or engraved on the barrel, he needs the entire revolver. Good luck, and if the project is completed we want to see picturesBabylon 9 Internet German to English translator. ;D |

I was born in France. I lived in Germany 6 years and 2 more in Austria during my formative years. Grade school, high school, college German language courses and plenty of Deutschsprachigen friends give me little reason to cheat. Danke.
