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 .44 cal 1851 Navy US Marshal(Pietta). It will shoot the .45 Schofield or the .45 Long Colt if bullet is seated slightly deeper. Although the loading gate requires modification to the gun (only a couple hours with a dremal), it is such a pain in the rear to break this gun apart - I think it'll be worth it.
So have any of you out there had any experience with the Kirst Conversion? If so, I would be most grateful to hear your report.
Thank you.
