A beautiful single-shot conversion in an excellent chambering. After going to all this work, I wonder why the maker chose to leave the magazine catch in the trigger guard? It's not that it's anything but a cosmetic issue, but he did a great job of cutting down the magazine housing and fabricating a floor plate. In his position, I'd have dispensed with the redundant catch parts, filled the opening, and radiused it smoothly into the floor plate. The unused moving parts sitting there look out of place, like they're hanging about waiting for the next bus to come along.
