I have a low wall 32rf with a bad bore i'd like to have reworked
to a centerfire. 
Can anyone recommend someone to do firing pin conversion?

Mr. hdj2520:

While the conversion certainly can be made, you might try to find someone with a CF block that they would be willing to trade.  You might have to sweeten the pot a little, but it would likely be considerable cheaper than the conversion.

The Estimable Mr. Steele:

I certainly hope they are paying.... <g>

How is every little thing down in the warm and sunny south? I hope that shop of yours is air conditioned!

You would not happen to have a couple of Laudensack levers and butt plates in your archives, would you?

The Laudensack lever and buttplate can be bought from Frontier Armory and Wes Stanley.  They are Storie castings.  You saw them on my Hiwall when you had it.  Wes advertises on Ebay and has the buttplates in stock for $40.  I am not sure if he has the lever in stock as I bought the last one he had 6 months ago and he was unsure when a new run of castings was to be made.  Here is the web address:

hdj2520, you are most fortunate to have aroused the interest of not one but two such artisans as JD Steele and HST.  You now can proceed secure in the knowledge that you will have the experience backing you to get you through any rough spots you encounter...also, they are both interesting and fun to work with.  A possibility they didn't mention is to bush the block normally then make a new link that raises it slightly to compensate for the odd placement of the .32 fp.  This brings the top edge of the block a bit above the frame, but many are worn there anyway and a bit of dressing down makes all look about right...I did this with a .32 rf low-wall and rechambered it to get a dandy little .32 Mag,  I wish I had kept that one!   

HST, are you sure you two don't need an ALLOSAURUS instead of a thesaurus to eat through some of your verbiage?    I'll be back in touch with you as soon as I'm back from all this gallivanting about (see, I can talk hi-falutin' too!) so we can start tracking down pieces parts for that new project we are embarking upon.

JD S, I till haven't installed that prototype set of DST's you adapted, but they sure work sweet on the bench!  As to the Laudensack levers, I still hope that Shelton will someday make another run of those Walker style levers for the high-wall as they have the same general configuration and I seem to fit into my example, at least, as well or better than the L'sack.  BTW, you think YOU are sweating, try Nassau in July!

Froggie, that set of DSTs (that you gave me & then I gave you back installed in a tang) is mighty rough-looking, I only did that conversion to see how it would work. Needs a little welding & cleanup on the tang where I cut too much, I was just lucky to have an extra tang to use with them.

Those triggers you gave me were the inspiration for the current adaptation effort. They were the shorter (top-to-bottom) version of the triggers, I ordered the longer version from Dixie and have fit them to an unfinished wall DST tang casting. Mr hst has graciously done his machining thing on the casting and it only awaits the fabrication of a suitable kicker spring and of course a custom long-tailed sear similar to the one I gave you with the triggers. The original long kicker spring design is OK but I would like to develop a really short one that would fit into the original woodwork without having to relieve the wood under the tang machine screw. We'll see.

AND I don't wanta hear any whining about how you're just SO HOT and suffering down in the sunny islands! At least you've got a breeze & an ocean, all we've got around here is perfectly still air, 97% humidity and a water hose!
Hope you have a good time, best regards, Joe

For Laudensack lovers ---  I spoke to Rodney recently And, he told me he had levers at the foundry. I would think they should be here shortly.   Ken
