I haven't heard of smoothboring them, but Sears Roebuck had a number of them reamed to use .50-70 shotshells in addition to .50 pistol cartridges, according to page 300 of my copy of the 1909 catalog.

Good news! As I mentioned, that was my experience comparing my older Rossi to my brother's newer one.  Looking forward to a range report!

Uberti, Pietta and other SAA Clones / Re: Another clone authenticity...

Quote from: Graveyard Jack on January 05, 2025, 11:41:33 AM...I have three of them and they are excellent. However, I have a growing disdain for blackpowder frames and sights and don't know why anyone would go out of their way to get one.

I also never noticed a difference in the hands between the Colt's and various replicas due to the very slightly larger dimensions. Of course, I only have 21 SAA's from Colt, USFA, Standard, Uberti and Pietta...

Your preference for pre-war frames is an understandable personal choice, but why anyone would want a BP frame was answered by the OP started who this thread - he wanted something authentic to mid-1870's.  I have a few and prefer the aesthetics, but my charcoal blue Cavalry would be just wrong with wide square sights.

I agree on the size thing, never notice the difference between my Colts and repros.

Has anyone heard of this pistol being converted to a .50-70 smoothbore as an alternative to a Ithaca Auto Burglar?
