Zack,
No need to be discourged. The #1 RB is about the easist rifle to change to CF. You only need to find another breech block and drop it in. They aren't that hard to find.

Or you can bush the breech block face a drill it for centerfire. And have the barrel bored out and rifled to a larger caliber if it has a crappy bore.

I've got a #2 roller basket case in Steve Durren's capable hands for exactly that kind of revision

Ballards may be weaker,

Pretty neat old Roller, even if it is a RF caliber. I wouldn't want to change it to a heavy caliber with that early crescent buttplate! I also wouldn't want to change the buttplate, as it's so nice for that era Roller.
