Bought me a new revolver. (New to Me)

There's an issue of the Gun Digest annual from the 60s or 70s with a Model 1917 set up like yours, except with the original fixed sights, on the cover. There was also an article inside. If I recall correctly, there was some modification of the rear of the .45 Colt cylinder to allow it to fit into the frame without interference from the little protrusion on the left rear of the frame opening. It's been a long time since I read the article, so forgive me if I'm less than clear.
I wanted one like it for a long time, but could never find a candidate for the conversion and by the time I did, the prices were outrageous. Still looks like a great idea and a wonderful find.
Congratulations.
