Hey Duelist1954,

Great video and discussion; thanks for sharing!

Best,

Great vid. Can't wait to see the vid detailing modifying the cylinder for capper use.
The more I look at those Remington revolving carbines, the more I want one.
It would go great with my 2 Pietta Remington New Model Army revolvers.

Great Video.

Could you clarify something for me? I'm looking at the R&D conversion cylinders, and it looks like they are all 5 shot in 45. Can you get a 6 shot version for the Remington, or are you stuck loosing a round?

Great video as always. Thanks for the comparison.

They still make the 6 shot:

Maple City Woodsman, You are probably looking at R&D cylinders for the 1860 Colt. All their Remington conversion cylinders are 6-shot .45 Colt. I believe Taylors & Co bought the rights to the Remington cylinders and are the exclusive distributor.

Here's a link to the cylinders via Taylor's

I missed Articap's post. It looks like Taylor's doesn't have the exlusive anymore. So now you have at least two sources.

Great video as always! I really like the front view especially with the black powder...it's an angle you dont' often see in gun videos.

I wonder if the Taylor's Walker conversion will fit an Armee San Marcos Walker?

duelist1954,

Did you compare either of the smallbores to the Springfield 1866?

 

[duelist1954]

Strawhat, no. I was only covering repeaters

 

[StrawHat]

Still a cool concept!

Kaeto, You can try. The Uberti 1860 conversion cylinders fit my ASM 1860 Army.
