I'm thinking of getting an Uberti conversion revolver or 1872 open top but I have some questions about authenticity.
Didn't ALL Richards conversions of the 1860 Army keep the 1860 barrel profile? If so, Uberti's 1860 conversion is kinda weird because it uses the 1872 open top barrel. Would that make it a Richards-Mason conversion? Looks like the only difference is the rebated cylinder on the 1860 conversion vs non rebated on the 1872.
It seems like the 1851 Navy conversion is the most authentic conversion model Uberti offers and that's the way I'm leaning.
