Abstract

A firearm conversion system for firearms having a pivoted hammer. The conversion system utilizes a plurality of different mode determinating cams which may be alternately mounted upon a shaft, the shaft also supporting the pivoted hammer. The cams each provide a selection among firing modes including safe, fire, single-action and double-action.
