Uberti Cattleman Flattop .44 Special conversion
« on: May 30, 2004, 04:32:36 AM »
I'd like to convert a .44-40 Cattleman Flattop to .44 Special.  Uberti says I just need to buy one of their .44 Special cylinders and have it fitted, but I'm wondering if the barrel's inside dimensions might be a little too tight.  Doesn't the .44 Special use bullets a couple of thousandths bigger than the .44-40, and would this really be a problem?

Does anyone know the land and groove diameters of a Uberti Cattleman .44-40?

And can anyone recommend a gunsmith to do the installation of the new cylinder?

Thanks.
Chris
