The one where he replaces the whole cylinder to effect a re-load.

Are there any reproduction copies of it being made anywhere??

What about cartridge conversions of such.

Thanks

Later

Clint was using the 1858 Remington with the 45 cartridge conversion. Since it did not have a cartridge loading cut out he used the spare cylinders.

I dont know myself though. Smile

I did find this on another forum with a google search Smile

To get more info on the "Kirst-Strite Pale Rider Remington .44 Colt" from Ravens Roost (e-mail: jayandkara @ starbrand.net) and River Junction Trade Co. (Kirst conversion cylinders) go to www.riverjunction.com.

This info is from an article in the spring issue of Guns of the Old West magazine. Wave

It was a 1858 Remington, cartridge conversion or not, Remington made spare cylanders for there revolvers on request from customers, It made reloading faster for Black powder or cartridge conversion.
