A friend of mine just picked up a reproduction 1860 Army in .44 cal. Now this looks almost identical to the 1861 Navy except for the caliber. What I am wondering, is what is the difference between the 1860 and the 1861? Other than the caliber, I think that there might be a difference in the shape of the grips.
My other question is would putting Navy style grips on an Army be as simple as switching the grips, backstrap, and possibly the mainspring?
Anyone with a better knowledge of these guns please help.
Thank you
