Taylors and Co 1858 Remington Conversion Nickel .45 Colt 8″ Barrel 6-Rounds

Taylors and Co 1858 Remington Conversion Features

This Taylors and Co 1858 Remington Conversion is a perfect reproduction from the historic period when popular black powder revolvers were being converted into cartridge revolvers. Although manufactured as an already converted cartridge revolver, these copies still feature an easy transition from blackpowder to centerfire cartridges. The 1858 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 Taylors and Co 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.
