    i have a 1917 colt revolver that I would like to convert to .45 colt and I want to get some of you smart people's opinions.

    this firearm is a shooter and not a collector grade pistol so history will not be adversely impacted. someone told me that

    a .45 colt new service cylinder would have to be used and the supply of those is pretty much non-existent.

    my question is can the .45acp cylinder be drilled out, or modified in some way to achieve what I want?

    thanks
