I presume this is a 5-shooter?
Now, that's a nice revolver. Didn't know they made a .50.
Very cool.
Thanks for sharing
We need more specs!
We need more info.
Nice work.
5 shot
Custom conversion
Clements has a website although I’m not sure he is still doing them?
Great quality, line bored, I had mine converted from 7.5 to 5.5
Will post more pics
Very nice.......how's it shoot and how much did the conversion cost?
Shoots like a dream, very comfortable. There are both conical and round ball loads for this posted on his site. Work appears flawless and tight, note minimal gap
Here is a post regarding pricing, looks like I paid around $1995 plus my gun.

Shooting a .49 round ball that's a pretty nice companion to a fifty rifle!
Not a revolver I would expect to see at a LGS or anywhere else for that matter. Very Nice !!
Pretty neat, thanks for sharing.
So that takes a .490" ball? It's kinda cool, but seems like a marginal improvement over the standard .457" ball. 0.033" larger and 33 extra grains of bullet. It looks to me like that could dang near be bored out to 52 caliber for a .530" ball.
The advantage is in the conicals especially.
250g conicals (as per Ed Harris data), you go from 850-950 FPS in the 45 up to 1250 now in the 50.
Everything in life is incremental. I enjoy shooting both.(heck, I got a scope on my 45 ROA)
That's nice! Maybe some day I'll try to talk someone out of one of those. That's a gun I wish I would have bought when they were still being made.
What is the Max grains of real Black powder for that bad boy?
Fly
Not sure but articles have noted 50g 777 is one of the loads.
I don’t really need that much power
