Hi y'all,
I've got an 1858 Pietta Remington BP and I'm waiting on my Taylor and Co 45 LC conversion cylinder, but I was wondering about something.
I've been thinking about also getting one of the pre-converted 1858's from Pietta or Uberti (that come with the loading gate and dovetailed frame). On the 1858's like that, can you still quick change the cylinders? If so, do you take out the cylinder only when you swap it out, or does the back plate come with it?
Also, the same question about the Kirst gated conversion cylinder. It looks like the whole thing gets taken out, back plate and all?
Last thing, it seems like I saw a conversion cylinder somewhere (maybe the Pale Rider) where the back plate only has one firing pin, and screws in permanently and then you can change out the cylinder quickly. That seems like the best idea. Anyone got one of those? They seem to be hard to find.
