Was talking the bs with some freinds and we all agree we love our mosins for screwing around. Got me thinking could it be done to convert a revolver to 7.62x54r. Wonder what that would be like.

You would need a pretty long cylinder.  I don't think that a Judge or Governor even has a long enough cylinder.

If done right (safe), that would be FUN to shoot. 

the real mans revolver 

You would need the 3" cylinder length judge, then you would need to create a new cylinder to contain a bottleneck cartridge.  On top of that, the bullet would "jump" between the cylinder and barrel which is not typically desired with a rifle type round.

 

I can imagine the flame cutting that would occur, I know what the blast out of an M44 looks like.  It would be "pretty impressive" and potentially "dangerous" coming out of a revolver.

 

Then you have the recoil.  The recoil in a 7.5-9 lb rifle is pretty stout, I can't imagine what it would be in a revolver.

Ever fire a T/C Contender with a 45/70 barrel?  OUCH! Can't image Russian round. 

Meh, i got plenty spam cans lol

I'd shoot it

I suspect you would have a ton of un-burnt powder spewing out the front... so yeah not a great idea IMO.
