    want to shorten 45 bisley barrel

    I want to shorten the barrel of my 7 1/2" bisley barrel to 4 5/8". While I am sure a good smith could do it, it probably would cost quite a bit. So...would it be possible to buy a 4 5/8" Blackhawk barrel and have a smith fit it for me? This is a blued barrel by the way, not stainless. The frame on my Bisley says its a Blackhawk frame. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

    Look on gunbroker, shouldn't be too rare. Could easily be cut down too. Hacksaw, and re-crown, et voila'. Only thing is putting new sight out front.

    I'm going to shorten mine to 10" with a new barrel too (can't remember the guy's name who made it).
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!
