Figured one of you knowledgable gentlemen might have the answers to my questions.
I was wondering - does anyone offer a replacement centerfire breach block for a Remington #4 rolling block? Say if a person wanted to convert a 32RF to fire 32 Short and Long Colt. Or would you have to get a gunsmith convert the rimfire block to centerfire (and if this is the only route - any recommendations/idea on the price)?
Mine was converted via the simple expedient of drilling a second firing pin hole in the face of the breechblock (in the center, natch ), and - since it was to be a permanent conversion - the rimfire firing tip ground off the firing pin and a new tip welded in the center of the pin.
The new tip was made overlong, then shortened for the proper protrusion with it in the forrward/fired position.
Done.
