Neat - there is a conversion "kit"(includes cylinder and firing pin plate) for that revolver to convert it to .45 Schofield or Colt, as well as these kits for all the other cap and ball revolvers.

Details
We are now offering a Kirst Cartridge Konverter for the 1860 Colt made by Uberti. These can be fitted to the 2nd and 3rd generation Colts, usually with very little adjustment. The 1860 model is a five shot, 45 Schofield with safety notches between each chamber, featuring a beautiful color case hardened Konverter Ring and Loading Gate. Our currently offered 1861 Colt Ejector also fits the 1860 barrel perfectly (item #KKEA1860PU). No FFL required, SASS legal and lifetime manufacturer warranty. All Kirst Cartridge Konverters are precision CNC machined in the USA from 4140 steel and heat-treated. They cylinders are rated "For Black Powder or Equivalent Loads Only" which includes the current Cowboy Loads on the market. The Kirst Cartridge Konverter must NEVER be installed in brass frame revolvers or .36 caliber pistols. Not recommended for original antique revolvers.

If you have a second generation Colt it may have been made by Pietta or Uberti. In order to tell you must measure the length of the cylinder from the base of the cylinder to the face of the cylinder. The Pietta will measure 1.91" and the Uberti will measure 1.87".

Please see our selection of cowboy ammunition.

Yes I saw .45 LC cylinders were available.

The ones I looked at seemed to have a plate at the back of the cylinder with firing pins etc. But looked like it could only be replaced by taking the whole cylinder out.

This one looks like it might be able to be reloaded by thumbing open that little "latch"? And singly loaded round by round?

Looks like a worthwhile addition.

One or more extra black powder cylinders would be useful too.
