    B,
    You know as a base gun, your NP44 may be converted to cal 40. Makes it similar to and compatible with a 16-40 Para!
    Armscor's mag is even a good 17 rounder for the cal 40. Hehe I never thought of that before.

    BMAG, If you're interested in multiple calibers, same platform, check out my creations in Para Photos pages 32 and 33. You might like it. I use the same magazine to shoot 38 super and 40 SW in my Para.

    No more projects for me. I actually sold my mill, lathe, bandsaw and other gunsmithing stuffs in Nov 05.We planned to move to Alabama in Jan 06 but changed our minds.

    Bmag, How do you convert the np44 form .45 to .40? What parts or items needed to convert it?

    OT: NP44 in cal 40

    Hello bro, looks like you're smokin' serious on the NP44. Gosh, had you got it already?!
    Hehe. As far as I know: of course you will need the cal 40 bbl. I think you will need the rampless one. Then the extractor because the cal 45 one will not work for the cal 40 (although the cal 38 extractor will work according to an armscor merchandiser during the last gun show). Get a good gunsmith for fitting. THen of course you need mags. Unless I forgot anything else I think you're done. Armscor or SAM can provide you parts. If you prefer the bull bbl, you will need a reverse plug. Good luck, 1911s are great fun. Goodness, if I am right and you have all you need, its so easy switching from 1 format to another! Two guns in one, hehe. Enjoy...

    45 to 40 conversion

    You also need a 40 slide Bro, or you Tig weld the 45 breechface to make it narrower. And the tunnel of the slide has to be machined to accept the reverse plug (if you are doing the full length guide rod set up)
