You are correct. Lefever Arms did a lot of Ejector conversions back in the day. But that was about it.

The amount of special tooling/jigs is not really the killer. That can be done by anyone with some machining equipment and the knowledge of what needs to be done. One operation to the frame and a few to the barrels.
It is more having all the Parts available and the knowledge to fit everything.
