I saw a note somewhere that there is an article (1970, The Gun Report) on four Colt Walker conversions that exist, all privately made, not factory conversions.
I'm curious if anyone knows when they might have been converted, and what caliber cartridge might have been used.
I think the blurb I saw said one of them had a loading gate and maybe an ejector. I can't find "The Gun Report" in Google, although The author, Tom Seymour, and the article title will show up as a reference in some searches
The 45 Colt, 44-40, 45-60 cartridges came out in the 1870's. What would have been used prior to this time, the 44 long colt? Maybe these conversions were done after the 1870's, were people converting 25--30 year old revolvers in the 1870's and 1880's?
