Voodoo, I have the R&D (non-gated) on my 1858 Remm, and the Kirst (gated) on my 1851 US Marshal. I by far prefer the Kirst. Much easier to load/unload without having to take the cylinder out each time(even with the ease of removing a 1858 cylider). And you only have one firing pin to worry...

Also FYI: I was told by Walt Kirst himself that the Schofield, on a Pietta gun, will also take the .45 Long Colt, as long as the ammo is no longer than 1 6/8 inches total. I have a .45 Schofield Kirst Konverter on my Pietta 1851 U.S. Marshal, and I shoot .45 LC. I love it. Slán go foill...

Gorgeous. Congratulations!

Just curious. I see posts about not putting sulfer in your blackpowder to cut down on fouling and buildup etc. So why have sulfer in it at all? Is there something else that must replace it? I appologize for my ignorance if this is a silly question. I just buy and shoot... Thank you.

I shoot a Pietta '51 Navy US Marshall, a ASM '60 Army, and a Pietta '58 Rem. All in .44 cal. By far, the '51 is my best point and shooter. Seems I don't even have to aim and I am right on quick. Not that the others don't shoot great - it's just that for me they require more to hit...

Good info Bezoar, thank you. Something to think on. As I never plan to part with this gun, I believe I am gonna go with the Kirst w/loading gate. Yeah, this 51 has the nice n' short 4 1/2 barrel. Out of the holster real quick, perfectly balanced, and just feels 'right' in my hand. I shoot...

Hello all, Not sure where to post this, revolvers or blackpowder. So I'll start here. I recently bought a R&D cylinder conversion for my .44 cal 1858 Remington. It now shoots .45 Long Colt cartridges beautifully. I am now considering buying the Kirst Konversion w/loading gate for my...

Hahaaha... hehe.. uh, you're kinda scaring me MartinS..... But I agree with all - I have a family treasure that with remain the family as a cherished part of our history.

Thanks guys. I just love this riflle. It shoots so wonderfully. And you know, it has much less recoil than my heavier Mossberg 30-30. Must be the design? They just don't make em like they used to I suppose.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have no desire to ever let this rifle out of the family. Just want to be able to tell the kids "You know how much this is worth?"

That very well could be. It has been handed down thru the family all these years. Don't know too much. I recieved it after an uncle passed away - it was his hunting gun. It is now my hunting and just plain old fun shooting gun. A guy I work with saw it and started drooling, offering me a...
