Uberti Outlaw question

Post by awp101 »

Rather than highjack olyinaz's thread, I'll ask in this one.

I didn't know they made a convertible .45 Colt/ACP model. VTI lists the ACP cylinders. Do you see where my mind is headed? :lol:

How hard would it be for the shade tree 'smith to fit one?

If I had the green I'd pay a real 'smith to do it! :lol:

It may drop right in. Next best you may need to file a it off the front to make headspace. Worst case, it's too short. Now you will need to counter bore the front and make a bushing to take up the excess.

Thanks! I might run the numbers and see if I can talk myself into it.

I'm assuming you have the Outlaw, and want the 45 ACP cylinder.....you might measure the 45 LC cylinder and ask VTI to "sellect" one that length. Should work if VTI is agreeable.

No, but I have a line on one in .45 Colt for $400.

Looking at the math, it looks like it'd be $75-125 less to get the one I ran across plus ordering the cylinder than a new convertible (if I could find one in stock). Not counting the time involved if it's not a straight drop in. If it had to go to a 'smith for fitting then it just doesn't make sense.
