45 ACP Cylinder Mod for Vaquero??
« on: February 10, 2003, 04:54:42 PM »
You all have no doubt seen the Davidson's Ruger 45Colt/45ACP Vaqueros for sale.  

Thing is I already have a Vaquero in 45Colt and want to get it set up with a 45ACP cylinder from a Blackhawk.  I see em for sale on Ebay and elsewhere once in a while.  

Have you all done this ? Or know of a smith' that will fit it up right for a reasonable fee?   Are the Blackhawk and Vaquero cylinders similar enough to make this worthwhile?

Thanks

Scout :D

Vaquero and Blackhawk cylinders are identical.  The part will most likely drop in and work out of the box.  Check Ebay and gun auction websites for Ruger Parts.
