Conversions by R&D
« on: December 03, 2011, 06:11:33 PM »
Anybody have one of these? I have what appears to be a 61' navy converted to 38 long colt. Cylinder lever has been plugged and ejector housing added. Serial #039.  looks to be a mason Richards style conversion. Nice looking and good functioning gun. Marked "R&D Beloit WI"

Five shot .45 R&D conversion on my 60 Army Sheriff model...works GREAT!
Of course the wedge pin slides in and out like butter...good trade when you
trade with an old gunsmith! (thanks Coot).

Yes I have one (might even be the mate to yours). I believe mine has a lined barrel also........
I bought it used off the SASS wire many years ago (the pard forgot to tell me that it had been rode hard and put up wet ::)) I tightened up the arbor an fixed it's internal issues. Now it hangs next to it's bretheren right here:

GOOD GOD! :o You're sicker than I am! Mine has a lined barrel too, serial #30. Mines a 61 navy  conversion in 38LC with a 5 1/2" barrel. I have been shooting it some lately with BP and HBWC's . Good shooter.
