Convert Winchester 1894 to 357 Maximum?
« on: October 15, 2005, 10:57:01 AM »
Would it be possible to convert a 357 magnum 1894 Winchester to a 357 Maximum?  
Anyone done this?
Being based on the 1894, it should be able to handle the longer cartridge.  Would it still feed 38 spls and 357 magnums?

Thanks.

Nope. The action is not quite long enough. BUT, with very little effort, the 360 Dan Wesson will perform awesomely!
