Not yet. Are you planning to line your bore or to just shoot HBWCs?

I do not have such a gun now

I had an old bro back in the day who was 3 years older them me carry a short 35 cap and ball gun in his sears 18" tall top engineer boots..I tryed it in mine and you would never know it was there/feel or looks
of course we were always drunk on our harley's when this occured..

Well, you can certainly find info on this sort of conversion online (the Cowboy Action Shooting sites are a good place to start: for instance, www.theopenrange.net/forum/index.php?topic=3466.5;imode , www.n-ssa.org/vbforum/archive/index.php/t-2945.html?s=2124ebc701197a760a63607b24dd4e13, and here's an article by a friend www.scorrs.org/articles/KHowellsConv.htm ), and you might want to keep an eye out for Adler's Metallic Cartridge Conversions book.
