32h&R to 327
« on: September 06, 2010, 10:20:05 PM »
I have a 4" sp101 in 32mag, I was thinking this weekend on either getting a new cylider for it from ruger (if they even do that) or having it bored out (if that is even possible). 

I just wanted the option of shooting both, but without having to buy the 3", I love the gun as is, but thought it could be a bit better if upgraded.

Any thoughts,

Thanks

Dave

  I see no reason you couldn't take it to a gunsmith to be rechambered. It's a pretty simple rechamber job. On the cost-remember you're rechambering 6 chambers instead of just 1.

I also have 4" SP 101s, 32 and 22, and looked into the conversion at Bowen Custom Arms.  The man hisself replied to my email and said can do, $100, ship the cylinder on the crane.  No expensive overnight shipping for a gun; its just a part(s).  Said turnaround was fast but I can't remember the specifics of how fast.
Side issue; I have adj. sights on both my 4" SP 101s, and I think they are great that way.  A 327 set up that way would make lots of sense. Not knocking the GP 100, but the SP 101 seems like an ideal platform for a trail-farm-utility gun.  But windage-only adjustable sights?  What is the logic behind that decision?  Factory 22s and the range of hand load and factory fodder for the 32s beg for fully adjustable sights.
