1-1/2 frame hammer guns were not made. Therefore 1-1/2 frame barrels are not able to be used for this sort of project. 1 or 2 frame only if you are wanting to go 12g. Or even 3 frame could be an option.

If you want a fluid steel hammer gun, you can put hammerless barrels on the Top-Lever action frames OR the check-hook lifter transition frames. NOT on standard early lifters.

It does take some work to get the barrels fitted and the check-hook installed not he barrels and make everything work as it should. But it is what it is.

I do have a 1 frame check-hook lifter action and 1 frame Titanic barrels for it hanging around.
