How much did that holster cost?

[sharpie443]

It's just like unloading a Russian nagant revolver.

[sharpie443]

I'm planing on buying that gun soon.

[ThePatrick6122]

can you hunt with a black powder revolver, you know to like deliver the coup de grace on a wounded animal.

[duelist1954]

@ThePatrick6122 It depends on the laws of your state.

Why dont all the conversion cylinders just use that modified hammer, so you dont have to use that silly back plate?

[weitzfc1]

@9piecewood the plate makes it possible to go back and forth between percussion and cartridge cylinders. the question is why would want to bother with a modified hammer? a fixed conversion plate can't be easily changed, and will need a new hammer.

I think some folks are missing the fact that this is a factory-made cartridge conversion. Not a percussion gun with a conversion cylinder.

I love the Colt conversions and have a couple replicas. I almost bought the Remington, because I love the `58's octagon barrel, especially the short 5½" model but couldn't get past the funky ejector.

Did you have to adjust the timming after installing the conversion?

[duelist1954]

@obamatheimposter This gun is manufactured as a replica cartridge conversion. It comes timed properly from the factory.

Beautiful Gun.

Where do you find the conversion at

[duelist1954]

@SaVAg3xMInD308 Taylor's & Co imports them.

[capnhands]

get the 44 special cylinder the 45 colt holds only 5 and is waay pricey

[Jummigackal]

awesome vid! did you find a shop selling these, or have to order em in?

[duelist1954]

@Jummigackal As a gun writer I get them from the importer, but you can have your FFL holder order one from Taylor's & Co.

Thank you for this.

[ryanjames170]

i have one of the Kirst Konverters,, i have to say i think i like the conversions quite alot

[SlickVega]

thanks for posting this video :) I have a completely non-historical .45LC conversion cylinder for one of my 58 remingtons that has a 'lid' on the rear of the whole cylinder with an individual firing pin for each chamber. It means the whole cylinder must be removed to reload, but I can also use it as cap and ball anytime which is nice :D great vid!

[duelist1954]

@SlickVega Those R7D conversion cylinders are based on actual 19th century Remington conversion cylinders. They were found on .36 Remington Navy and Remington Police revolvers and they converted them to fire .38 rimfire cartridges. Instead of firing pins befind each chamber, the cylinder back was slotted so the hammer could it the rims

@duelist1954 very cool! thanks for the info! i'll have to read-up on conversions, one aspect of my firearms knowledge i've neglected
