1860 Kirst conversion

Hello,

We happen to see some 1858 conversion on the forum but I have not yet seen any Colt 1860 replica conversion , either Kirst or R§D . Anyone would have one ?

Regards

I have a Walker R&D but its really nothing to look at its a drop in. Basicly pull the wedge out take off the barrel. Replace the cylinder. The R&D you load up the rounds in the cylinder when you put it in the gun. So as soon as you have it on the arbor shaft you have a HOTT loaded gun. Works ok for the Walker though. As i did not want to port it

R&D makes a drop-in 5-shot conversion cylinder, I have one, it works well except for having to remove the barrel to load/reload.

Kirst makes a gated conversion, you make the port cut on your frame.

Uberti makes an 1860 conversion from the factory, see their website, and/or Taylors.
