My above attempt at humor not withstanding...... Obviously my posting regarding the Clerke revolver was meant to be slightly funny, but I understand this was a serious question and I would like to take the opportunity to answer it with the respect it is due. First let me state what has been...

Wouldn't be caught dead with or without? Well, I once had a Clerke .22 revolver that had a forcing cone almost as big as the outside diameter of the barrel and the chambers indexed so poorly that it spit chunks of lead from both sides of the cylinder gap......Oh, never mind. I thought you asked...

Is this a .32 or a .22?

Remington pockets in .32 and .22? I had one of the little Remington .31's I picked up 2nd hand on Gunbroker. It was a neat little piece, but it was one of the ones imported by Traditions, and I guess they get a better price from the manufacturer by going with a lower level of fit and finnish. I...

Brass frame conversion? Well now I have the Kirst Remington 1858 .22 conversion unit that I use in my Uberti with a steel frame. Although I use it in a steel frame, it's my understanding that the .22 unit is the only one that Kirst says is OK to use in a brass frame gun. The muzzle end of that...

Just the conversion cylinder without the rest I think you could do ok with just the cylinder. You can actually skip the pivoting gate, whith would be one of the more difficult pieces to build. Lots of original conversions back in the day didn't have gates. In fact, a lot of revolvers that...

Busyhands94 I know I've really been showing this off a lot, but I just love it so much! My converter that converts a .44 Remington ta a single shot pistol that shoots .22 short, long, or long rifle. It is most accurate with my blackpowder .22 LR ammo. Hey Busyhands! I hadn't seen your...

Good old guns - conversions! This is another shot of my revolving carbine conversion, only with the Kirst .45 ACP conversion installed. Shown with the carbine is his little brother, which started life as a new Uberti 1858 5.5" .44 Cal. cap & ball revolver. I love Uberti's quality when it comes...

Buy the way. That Walker is beautiful! Cylinder looks big enough to accomodate a .45-70 Government round! I don't know that a cap and ball replica could handle it, but you would sure get some attention when people saw you loading it up at the range! I would definately like to have a Walker...

There's no reason I can think of that you couldn't do a "full honest conversion". I have a Kirst .22 Konverter for my 1858 Remington, and as it came to me the ring wasn't ported. I also didn't want to take out the cylinder to reload, so after talking to Jay Strite I just cut a rounded chunk out...

Jamo, for what it's worth Jay Strite from Kirst told me that they are working on an 1851 conversion in .22 rimfire. I think he said they actually had already made prototypes, but production wouldn't be for a while yet. He did say that the 1851 would be the next rimfire conversion offered, and I...

.22 Revolving Carbine with extended barrel liner Hi Hoof Hearted, Don't worry, I didn't take your comments in any sort of negative way. It probably seemed like I was getting defensive because I get so long winded. If you see som of my posts on CASCITY you will see that I never use 10 words to...

Patent infringement? Huh? What?!? :cuss: When I talked about making a longer barrel to use with my Kirst .22 conversion for the Remington Revolving Carbine, I was talking about shade tree gunsmithing for myself. First, although I am no patent attorney, I think that if I am making an...

One thing you can do with the Kirst .22 conversion. They need to make it available with a longer barrel though. I talked to Jay and he said they can do any length barrel I want, but it's $10. an inch I think he said. I think I'm gonna try to just install a long barrel liner in place of the...

Small caliber old school repeating sniper rifle Uberti .44 Revolving Carbine, antiqued with .22 Kirst conversion and Unertl style scope

What i did with my mystery scope I had the same scope. Mounted it on an Uberti Revolving Carbine that I converted to .22 with a Kirst .22 conversion unit. I antiqued both the carbine and the scope for a vintage look.

I have the Kirst .45 ACP conversion for my Uberti 1858 I got it because the ammo is cheaper and more available than .45 Long Colt, and because Jay Strite told me that the .45 ACP is the most accurate conversion for the .44 Remington 1858. And Jay told me in no Uncertain terms that I should only...

You deserve to buy yourself the kirst .22 conversion By the way, in my conversation with Jay Strite he told me that although it will be a while their next .22 unit will be for the 1851 Navy revolver. Since that model was the first cap & ball revolver to be reproduced by the Italians, there are...

I used the Kirst .22 unit in an Uberti 5.5" and gated it! I'm a happy Kirst owner. I did have an R&D cylinder which was fine, but I'm a Kirst guy all the way when it comes to conversion parts, as I wouldn't be happy with a conversion that wasn't gated. I got a Kirst gated unit in .45 ACP for...
