I've been talking myself into getting one of the Remington 1858 clones out there but a while now. I think part of the reason is because of it's ease in conversion to cartridge firing, specifically trying one of the great conversion cylinders being manufactured.
Too, there are a number of really well made copies out there- Pietta, Uberti, Lyman, Santa Barbara, Armsport, Navy Arms- have I missed any ? The problem is spare parts and conversion cylinders. Will they fit the Santa Barbara or the Lyman guns ? Or are the 1858 conversion cylinders limited to Pietta and Uberti ?
I'm hoping to stumble across one on the used market, any advice would be most welcome.
