Thanks. Once I finally got around to getting myself a set of cap and ball Remington copies and loved the way they shot I knew I would be wanting a pair of conversions also. They did not disappoint.

:) HEY RUBE !! ;)
Always wanted to yell that. Anyway, really nice guns. Having a pair of the "older" guns is a huge PLUS!! to allow you to use the Cap Gun Cylinders interchangeably (wow that's a big wurd).
I have actually set up several of my Colt pattern SNUBBIES to be convertible. Didn't use Gated conversions though. R&D two piece "drop in" cylinders. Really really fun. Go to a multi day match and if the weather isn't swell for Cap Guns . . . swap for Suppository Cylinders and PRESTO!! Real Fun!!

Yeah, that is a great idea for sure. I have been eying up some of those Colt style snubs.

:) OOPS ;)
I fibbed. Sorry. I also built myself a pair of Colt Pattern 1860 Conversions with Kirst Konverters gated conversions. They also accept their original Cap Cylinders. They do look a tad "odd" with the cartridge channel thru the recoil shield but they are some easy to Cap I can tell ya.
Didn't see a lot of smoke when you were shooting those Remingtons though. Stealthy smoke??
Play Safe Out There
