And a Ruger GP100 by Dave Clements in 10MM is a handy little package. ![[Linked Image]](http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad261/ronnieg97866/12-06-14%20GP%20and%20Max/DSC04775_zps1814d770.jpg) Ronnie

GP100 in 41 spec.....very intriguing.
Any suggestions as to a 'smith to do the work, and estimated cost? Between the purchase of the gun, shipping and the work...pushing $15-1800.... http://www.clementscustomguns.com/gp100.htmlI've thought about it but with having the stainless and Ti Trackers just could not justify it... Bob Thanks Bob.

Dave...You are welcome... A good clean GP-100 around here is in the $5-600 range... Add shipping and the conversion fee and looks like one could get one for less than $1500...
Ronnie...those are some beautiful guns... I also have several of the MP molds. Just got done with my last casting session for the season and made about a thousand of the HBWC. My first try with that mold was a disaster...just could not get them to come out right. This time smooth as silk. The little 180 with the HP options is now my go-to bullet for the Freedom Arms 97.
Sarge...looks like that .400 colt would be the one as it is already the same diameter as the 10mm vs. the .401 Herters that is a little too large...
Maybe if Colt ever brings back a full size revolver again they will chamber it for a 400/10mm...

The 10mm is a fine, versatile cartridge right in the middle of the handgun power spectrum. An AR version for revolvers is an excellent idea and Starline might even be talked into a producing a limited run of it. A 10mm field revolver should be chambered in 10mm Magnum and if it's a DA, the cylinder rebated for moon clips so .40 standard 10mm loads can be used. A single action 10mm Mag, with a spare 40 S&W cylinder, would handle everything from mice to moose if a fella reloaded for it. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.ammo-one.com/10mmMagnum.jpg) http://www.sixguns.com/tests/tt10mag.htmhttp://shop.reedsammo.com/10mm-Magnum-200g-Hornady-XTP-1620FPS-10MMMAG200X.htm Wasn't aware of the 10 mag but that case looks to be a perfect pattern for a 10AR as you say. Reading Starlines specs for the case length it's +\- that of a .357. And that GP in 10mm is veddy veddy nice. Should be able to juggle the magnum case length to make auto rim COAL fit a standard .357 cylinder. What kind of pressure comes with a 200gr bullet at 1200fps from the mag? Got a Trooper Mk lll that could be modified if the cylinder walls could handle it. But on your idea for an extra .40 cylinder, I just saw a used Blackhawk .357 on GB with an extra cylinder in 9mm. DONOR !! I'm liking this a lot.
