Great for:

  • Civil War Re-enactors
  • Civil War Cowboy Mounted Shooters

Cut a loading port in the frame and convert your '58 Remington for the Kirst Cartridge Konverter with loading gate, then add the ejector assembly for a complete Konversion, just like Remington did in the old days.

The loading gate version can also be switched back to cap & ball in a few moments.
