Can a machine shop make the SL900 3" and 3 1/2" ready?

Thanks,

We have been intermittantly working on a 3" conversion for the 650. It is very doable. Not so the 3 1/2".

Good Morning Dillon,

You mean - a cartridge reloader - the 650 - ; there is a 3" conversion - for shotshell - being developed?

Thanks,
John W.

Nope-typo. a 12 and 20 ga 3" conversion kit is being developed for the SL-900.

OK - sounds great - can't wait until it is developed.
What about 3 1/2" Magnum. I am pretty proud of my 887 Nitro.

No way to load 3 1/2" shells on the SL900. Not enough height available in the frame to seat wads.

Dillon,

How is the 3" conversion coming along?

Thanks,
John

Some parts are made, but still some things to iron out yet. R&D has been focused on some other stuff recently, so it may be a bit before they return to the 3" project.

Dillon,

Can you elaborate on what R&D is working on?

Thanks,
