Hello again,

I was out picking up some reloading stuff, and I noticed a revolver the shop had in. So here I am again asking ?'s

This gun I'm looking at is a colt double acting revolver. It is chambered for 455 Eley??  

My question is ,,, could it be rechambered easy? or could I cut down some 45 LC to use in it or possibly 45 Auto rim. The gunshop owner said he had 2 of them, the other one was sold to a lad who is using 45ACP in it using some type of rings? I can get tis gun cheap "really cheap"! and was just wondering if it would be worth my while. I haven't been able to find any info about it anywhere else.  

Again thanks in advance <!--emo&--><img src="http://beartoothbullets.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''><!--endemo-->

Well guys thanks for the advice.  I took the plunge and bought the gun. It is in it's original caliber of .455 Eley. I also had him order me a box of cartridges for it and a set of reloading dies. Any info on reloading for it would be greatly apprecaited. Now all I have to do is wait for the Canadian government to spend the next 2 months clearing all the paper work on it so I can bring it home. It is in really good condition, and works excellant. They had a special on and he threw in a holster and cleaning kit. I never realised before all the fun with getting liscenced up here for handguns or I might have just let it go,,but that is another whole story.

Well here I am again. I finally am in the final steps to aquiring my revolver's. The gentleman I purchased the colt from, phoned me last week and asked if I would be interested in another .455 caliber revolver, turned out to be a S&W hand eject model. I would like to take this time to thank you fine folks again for your opinions and advice. I have been in the process of our liscencing system since november of last year, and it was becoming fairly discouraging. I just heard that my ATT permit should be in the mail in the next week or so, and I will probably be pestering you all again in the near future with more questions.
