Fire cartridges from your Cap & Ball revolver!
Howdy, my name is Samuel Remington, aka: Walt Kirst. My passions for 19th century firearms and especially the development of the revolver, led to my invention of the Kirst Cartridge Konverter™. In the mid 1990s I developed my cartridge conversion system for the Remington New Army Model Revolver, to add a new dimension of enjoyment for cap & ball enthusiasts who love Cowboy Action Shooting. It is more or less a combination of the early, large frame Remington conversions and the Colt Richards conversion. Now with the Kirst Cartridge Konverter™ you can switch your favorite cap & ball replica revolver to cartridge and back by simply changing cylinders.
All Kirst Konverters are precision CNC machined in the USA from 4140 Steel and heat-treated. The cartridge conversions are rated "For Black Powder or equivalent loads only," which includes the current Cowboy Loads on the market.
Caution: Ammunition must be loaded with lead bullets and a low-pressure, powder charge that DOES NOT EXCEED 1000 FEET PER SECOND VELOCITY!
NOT FOR USE IN BRASS FRAME REVOLVERS!
.44 and .45 caliber cylinders must NEVER BE INSTALLED IN A .36 CALIBER REVOLVER!
