Dick,

I believe Hamilton Bowen at Bowen Classic Arms can do this...check out their website under Ruger single actions, Basic Caliber conversions.

I've got a customer's 1894 Marlin rifle in .32 H&R that I'm going to convert to 327 Fed. Mag. Feeds fine so it shouldn't be anything more than a chamber reaming.

Yes, very reasonable for the work performed ($795), but not "cheap" when Ruger could just make a factory 327 Federal single six and sell it for half that price! Not trying to hijack thread, but the single six is an obvious plattform for the 327 Federal. I guess Ruger just doesn't think the demand is there.

FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."
