Any Conversion for that Spesco'd Revolver
« on: May 02, 2016, 02:25:31 PM »
The frame is a DGG (?) Colt.  The Spesco barrel ID is about 0.367 inch on the lands.
Is this too loose for a .38 special conversion?  ???

I have pounds of .38 special brass.

Hi Bart, there is a workaround for 38 Special in 36 (.375") caliber barrels, hollow base wadcutters. You may want to read this thread:
