saw one on the internet with a conversion cylinder and a case ejector on it.does anyone know who did that conversion? wasnt the howell or krist people. had to be a gunsmith who knows how to do it. there wasnt a word about who did it, just the cost of doing it. thanks before hand.
Got a link? I have never seen a Paterson with a conversion cylinder and an ejection rod. A number of people make conversion cylinders for various C&B revolvers, Howell, Krist, R&D. An ejection rod shouldn't be that complicated. My only question would be why? Uberti sells an 1851 transition revolver that comes already converted straight from the factory.

there is something about a paterson colt and the design that i really like. sorry about the link. it just came up on image when i punched patter colt conversions in. reline the barrel to .357 and have a good conversion cylinder and a ejector rod and i think that is the gun of my dreams. shoot cowboy 38 special in it and it would be a dream for me. i have most of the rest of the uberti conversions. always wanted a paterson conversion since i saw a western when i was a kid that featured a young man who had one and took out a bunch of ssa bad guys with. they laughed at him and drew on him and ended up every dead in a very short time.
Was this the picture?
I believe ASM produced revolvers like this before they went under.

yes that is it, and i will try to look up ams, and if you could help me as to who and what they are, thanks.
ASM was an Italian gun manufacturer. I don't think you will have much luck contacting them. Personally I would contact Mike Brackett over at Goons Gun Works. If he can't help you he might know who can.

thanks, you have been very helpful.
That looks like a faux Richards & Mason conversion. ASM made R & M conversions but I have never seen a Patterson conversion. I once passed on one of their '51 conversions that was in 38 special and kicked myself afterwards as it was a well made one with great fit/finish. ASM - Armi San Marco - now out of business. Their products could either be really nice or really bad - and I think a lot of that depended on which "cottage industry" in Italy was making the particular guns for
ASM. Internals were usually "soft". I had a very nice ASM '60 Navy (made by them but marked CVA and sold through CVA) and at one time, took a '51 ASM in a trade deal that was a better boat anchor than it was a handgun. Not saying this one is a ASM though in the photo. If possible, an "in person" examination should provide you with markings and a date code.
A very interesting Patterson conversion and if you find anything definite on it - please share. If I wee to run across one likes anti was priced reasonable, I'd have no problem snatching it up just for the "oddity" of it being a Patterson conversion.
to me the patterson is a beautiful gun, and to find a remake in a conversion would be a dream come true.
FYI, it's PaTerson, not PaTTerson.

when you go to a public meeting place a anal personality always shows up. when that one goes away, another one always replace them. thanks for reminding me im not one of you, makes my day.
You're welcome. Maybe your search for a conversion cylinder will be more successful now that you can correctly spell the name of the revolver!Originally Posted by johnson1942
