Taylor's & Company 1858 Remington Conversion Revolver 45 Long Colt 8" Barrel 6Rd Nickel-Plated Finish

Taylor's & Company 1858 Remington Conversion Single Action Revolver 45 Long Colt 8" Barrel 6 Round Capacity Ivory Grips Nickel-Plated Engraved Finish

This Remington Conversion is a perfect reproduction from the historic period when popular black powder revolvers were being converted into cartridge revolvers. Although manufactured as a an already converted cartridge revolver, these copies still feature an easy transition from blackpowder to centerfire cartridges. The Remington Conversion in .45LC allows a shooter to switch from .45LC to .44 black powder by removing the breech plate, cartridge cylinder, and replacing them both with a spare black powder cylinder. Along with the original conversion design, these revolvers retain other original features: the forged frames are dovetailed to allow the loading gate assembly to slide into place and a modern ejector rod incorporated into the original black powder loading lever with a small notch cut into the loading lever itself.
