 Update-I have been advised that this is NOT a safe conversion,and that the #4 was never made in centerfire calibers,so this thread can be deleted.

FYI - My solid-frame #4 was converted long ago to CF via the simple expedient of drilling the issue breechbolt and making a new CF firing pin - but w/o rechambering.
I would do absolutely nothing to a take-down #4.

Mine shoots factory .32 Short Colt CF ammo w/o any safety issues - that WOULD arise if rechambered for a more strenuous cartridge.

They are what they are, and can be enjoyed for what they are - a simple boy's/hunting/woodsloafing rifle.
