Please explain the Hahn & Flees fix, I am not familiar. Well, like the rest of my builds, I have big plans but follow through is always iffy. I uncovered a patent for a hydraulic firing pin that should work in the existing block, I can find no reason why it should not work. The chamber will clean up once the chroming is bored out, a new chamber bushing made and hard soldered in. The barrel shoots like gangbusters with my favorite bullet, the 385 grain Lyman .457. Once the cartridge conversion is made it will not quite be a 44/77 or 50/90 conversion of 1869, and not quite a papercase gun. If I compete with it I will be alright until I win something, then somebody will contest it. I will bring forth my proof in the form of Winchester's forgotten cartridges, blow the sucker out of the water, and take home the prize money. Such comes from toying with Scotsmen. Definitely you should think about refitting the trigger pin on the Pedersoli shotgun, this is not a difficult fix at all.
