What about a Walker conversion?  It was "milspec" during the Mexican American War as a cap & ball behemoth.  I can imagine that some enterprising soul might have had one converted (I have two converted to .45LC) and carried it into the Indian Wars, along with a Sharps or even Trapdoor.  I normally shoot a Sharps Carbine and Schofield when shooting Milspec, but am planning to shoot my Walker in GAF category for a local match with the Plum Creek Shooting Society in December.  What say you experts?  Do I have to shoot Scout or am I ok milspec single-shot?

Absolutely!  Rule of thumb: you can use a handgun of an earlier period than your rifle, but not later.  Can't get much earlier than a Walker!
