    On my win of the Winchester, they only charged me $35 dollars which I was ok with, and it was a phone bid. So I was please with this as it was my first time biding on anything on line.

    What about a re-bore to .357 magnum?

    Bad idea for a Low Wall, or a #2 Ballard. The Low Wall can be OK with a .38 Special chambering if they're not loaded to +P levels. But not a good choice to do it in .357 Magnum.

    Lo-Wall will be destroyed with pressure over 20,000 psi. .357 pressure is 37,000 psi~!
    I went with the .38 Special which has a pressure of 17,000 psi in my Lo-Wall which was built in 1892. I bought the rifle with a bad crack at the wrist and a very, very rough .25RF bore, and included an original Lyman tang peep sight. Stock nicely repaired and refinished, converted to CF, bore relined to .38 Special. Collector value~~? Maybe not~! Fun value, in IMHO immeasurable~! For sale~?? Not on your life~!
