Bought a 1851 pietta (44 cal.) Navy colt. Its currently creeping this way through the mail.
I am planning on getting a kurst conversion cylinder so it will shoot 45 long colt cowboy loads. ..... so, i guess you could say... the plot thickens.!.... well, after all, my birthday is this month..... whats a man to do when the itch needs scratching but dig in and go for it??

Steel or brass frame? Congrats! For my 1858 Remington I found a great use for an old box of Speer 200 gr. soft lead bullets .452 diameter.
They have a bullet lube coating and work perfectly for 45 Colt Cowboy plinking with 5.5 gr. Red Dot using conversion cylinder.
