Has anyone had any experience with converting a Blackhawk to a non factory caliber. I am toying with the idea of converting mine (45 colt) to 22 hornet. I will sleeve the cylinders and chamber to hornet and replace the barrel with a 10" tube. I have a lathe and have turned some test inserts that turned out well,I know a local gunsmith who will remove the .45 and install the hornet when I have finished turning it. I haven't shot the Blackhawk in years but am an avid groundhog hunter,just thought a hornet revolver would be fun but don't really want a Taurus .
