I recently purchased a conversion cylinder from Howell Old West Conversions and have been very impressed with the quality of the cylinder and the company's service. I ordered it on a Thursday and had it in my hand the following Monday. The cylinder is for my 2016 Pietta 1858 and it is a true "drop in" part. The machining is of high quality and everything works exactly as described on their Web page.
I have fired around 70 rounds through it now and am very satisfied with its performance. I am firing 200 grain Oregon Trail RNFP laser cast bullets with light Trail Boss loads and am very happy with the results.
While the cylinder is a bit pricey at $240, it has easily doubled my enjoyment of my 1858. I can now stop in at the range on my way to work and not worry about leaving the gun dirty all day.
