I was at the local pawn shop today, looking at BP arms of course, came across this pistol minus the cylinder (sorry no pics). It had about a 4" blued barrel, Pietta, BP only. Case hardened steel frame. There was no loading lever or plunger and the cylinder pin seemed to be a knob with a button to push to release. There was an ejector as for cartridges and a loading gate. All was extremely well made. I guess my question is how much does it cost to convert ones pistol like this? We did throw a Pietta cylinder (BP) in and it would be impossible to load without a loading block; I don't think the extractor would work to load a ball and if I remember right there wouldn't have been room for the ball on top of the cylinder to rotate to that position. And too, is it what I think it is, a fully converted frame? Wish I had some pics to show, hard to explain in words. Values, interests?
