I have a S&W 2nd Model Hand Ejector in .455 Webley, one of the WWI contract guns for either the Brits or Canadians.
I'm considering the idea of converting it to make it an EDC.
Can a smithy here give me a ball park figure as to what it would set me back to:
1) Shorten the barrel to 3.5" and install a ramp sight
2) Bob the hammer
3) Remove the lanyard swivel
4) Convert it to .45 Colt.
I'm having a hard time making up my mind as to whether to do this to an historic revolver. But as it stands now it's a safe queen. A .45 Colt Hand ejector with a 3.5" tube would make one hell of a classy carry gun.
