Thanks for yer patience answering my questions Charlie.

I think the subject of people working their own conversions interesting.  First time ever I've seen where the conversion was taken to 32cal using sleeves and all. 

Gunsmiths I've talked with that stated that chambers shouldn't be sleeved probably never did it or where thunkin in terms of guns like 357's or 44 mag, and not black powder pocket revolvers.

I thunk if the chamber is sized bigger outside diameter where the case will sit in the sleeve and smaller where the throat will sit in the sleeve that step that would be made would not allow the sleeve to move forward. Know what I mean? A two outside diameter sleeve shouldn't remove too much cylinder wall.
