The Seecamp Forum requires registration; maybe later...

I did find some other Forums with pics and stories...It appears the conversion process evolved over time...There were full-length conversions as well...

John, it's not quite that easy to put the Commander slide/barrel on a 5" frame and expect it to work...I've done it but it does require a bit of machining to the frame...Otherwise the Commander slide won't travel rearward far enough...In the old days (before Commanders), they just cut 3/4" off the slide/barrel & re-cut the bushing slot...

I probably could do the conversion, I have the patent number now...And it looks do-able...Maybe someday...

I am not registered on that forum, and I had no trouble reading their forum threads and seeing their photos, and even downloading them. Not sure what kind of problem you had when you visited there...

I'm not sure either...I got the box with warning the first time I tried; now it lets me view the threads...

Got a couple good pics of the transfer bar...Still can't make out how the trigger pivots...

Lower conversion has more milled out; you can see the magazine...Top one is not milled out as deep...
