Wow that is nice!!
They have something to do with the 1860s that take a detachable stock. Since there are holes in the frame there the screws are really just filler to cap those holes.Wow, just wow.
Quick question: What is the reason for the protruding screws?

I assume a stock screws in there somehow but I really don't know how they attach. Never handled one with a stock on it.
if I may ask where did you have that work done and roughly whats something like that costs? thanks!Here it is. Came out really nice I think.

At some point I may make one out of one of their 1851 conversions in .38 Special.
I think that would look pretty outstanding done exactly like this one.
Just my opinion, but the 1851 Navy bore diameter is for .380" soft lead round ball. .38 Special bullets are .357" diameter. That would be like a small pebble rattling down a large pipe. I think the accuracy would be very poor.
Another consideration would be to convert a replica 1851 Navy .36 to .22 LR using this spendy item that has the rifled barrel insert (I have entertained that idea but the funds are not forthcoming):

yeah I like birdsheads grips myself so please tell us!!One question; where do you find the bird's head grips? I really like the ones I see on the Thunderers but have a Heritage Rough Rider with the bird's head and it's pretty comfortable too, I just want to find some for the Piettas I have so I can make them look the way I want.
