R&D Conversion Cylinder .31 (!) Remington
Hello again everybody!
(Yes, I'm back.)  Figured I'd put this one HERE as this seemed to be the most likely spot for things relating to CAS / SASS shooting. Has anyone out there in HuntChat land BESIDES me ordered up the R&D Conversion cylinder to convert the STEEL FRAMED Remington .31 1863 "New Model Pocket" to shoot .32 S&W? And IF so...have you gotten yours yet? Have some tidbits of info regarding the delays in shipping these if ANYBODY's  interested. (Guess who I ran into last May at the NRA Convention in Phoenix?*)Floor's open. (*Well, BESIDES Dillon Calendar Girl Cathy Rankin!  LOL!)

Mad Reloader,
I have seen ads for various C&B conversions for .44 caliber arms. They were pricey about $250, to make my M1858 Remington into something else in the cartridge domain. I have so many other projects underway that I never got into the conversion stuff. Adam

Well then...
Adam, GOB, good 2 hear from you also!
FWIW, you guys want to hear what the dealy is? (OBTW: This conversion unit is the LEAST expensive of the R&D cylinders, at only $200. I know, the things tend to be a bit pricey--but if one's trying NOT TO get a dementedly large amount of clutter in the ol gun safe, having something what can be used for Civil War re-enacting AND general use as a cartridge single action has its appeal) Details 2 follow!
