Dave,

If Kirk would do the conversion, I think it would be more expensive then what it's worth. You would be better off selling the '63 and buying a new/used Shiloh '74. If you can't afford that, maybe buy a Pedersoli and shoot it until you can get a Shiloh.

I was looking at Gunbroker or Gunsamerica and someone has an 1863 conversion to, I think 50-70.

Make that 45-110 and it is on Gunbroker.com. Shiloh did not do the work.
