Ive owned two Pedersoli 1874's previously and regret letting each one go.....

I hope there's something special lined up to replace it.

And I know of a Lee Shaver .22LR conversion tube going for a song too. I have one, good cheap practice. 300 yards with .22 is about the same as 1000 yards with elevation and wind effect. Great fun when you turn up at the local .22 indoor target range, pull this out of the case and say (with a straight face) "OK to shoot this here.....?"
