New caliber to convert .32 acp pistols to restricted

[UCSPanther]

I'd like to see some pictures of the .32ACP cartridge vs .30 reid cartridge.

Maybe I could get my hands on a restricted only Mauser HSC or CZ 50/CZ 70 with this setup.

Great news!...any plans to do something similar for the revolver crowd....32 Colt, .32 S&W, .32-20 and so on?

Just to remind everyone that once the very last prohib is off your PAL, you lose prohib license for good.
Convert however many you soul likes, but if you want to be able to buy prohibs, keep the very last one!
Keep the last one.

Quick question, does anyone know the barrel length of the Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless? and if this conversion could be applied to this pistol?

[Snow Dog]

I believe the 1903 runs 3 3/4" to 4" depending on the version. Epps would need to rebarrel with a new .30 cal barrel anyway so they would make it a bit longer than the prohib length. It would extend a bit past the slide but that's not the end of the world.

I wonder - could these be rebarrelled with a barrel stamped '7.65 mm Browning?' That would take 32acp brass, bullets and dies as-is because 7.65mm is the euro designation for the 32 ACP; which is, of course, not *actually* a '32 caliber' at all (just like the 38 special is actually closer to a 36 caliber than a 38, for example)

That's awesome news! Now to find the right pistol to have converted...

WOW! What a winning Idea! Good job Epps.

did the cfc change their policy again on cal change? I thought change in cal would not make .32's restricted as the receiver was always prohib. they seem to change back and forth every few years.

While I'm not interested in these pistols, I think it's fantastic that this is able to be done. Great thinking and maybe there are some other style guns that can be converted to *whatever* too.
