Seth,

I doubt you'll find a dealer with a pair of .45s with navy grips in stock.  You'll probably have to have them ordered.

Seth,

Almost forgot.  When you find/get a pair, DO NOT CYCLE the action until you check the barrel to cylinder gap.  The last three sets I'v had in for work had the barrel tight against the cylinder face.  One customer had already shot his and the cylinder face was badly scored.

It isn't hard to fix, but, needs to be locked at before the guns are turned.

PS:  Ditto the last FOUR sets of conversions.  Same problem.

The same gorilla that Uberti uses to tighten their rifle screws also is their wedge driver!!  :o ;D ;)

Seth, it could be either. Like Coffinmaker I take the gun apart before cocking it and go over everything.

It's actually two problems.  The bore in the barrel for the cylinder mandrel is bored too deep, and the breach end of the barrel is left too long rather than being "fit."

Not too hard to fix, just exasperating and time consuming.
