Army Vs Navy

Almost forgot to mention that it's my understanding that you can fit an SAA grip frame onto the 1851/60.
Can you do a Richards conversion with a Kirst?

Army Vs Navy

That's more of a caliber thing than a style. You are comparing pivoting loading lever to a creeping loading lever. Both revolvers are Army caliber, .44.

Yes, to the Krist, but with the ring the cylinder is shorter and will not accept
45 Colt. You have to use 45 Scholdfield ammo.

 

[w_houle]

Yes, to the Kirst,

Richards or Richards-Mason?

Considering that the Pietta Navy's front sight is known for causing a very high point of impact due to being too low, I wonder how much closer to the point of aim the Army barrel will shoot to?
The Army sight does look to be a little bit higher.
Does anyone know how high the Pietta Colt Army's generally impact at 25 yards?

Mine was something like 10" high at 25 yards.

Whatever floats yer stick is best.
Just don't try to convince a die hard reenactor your frankinsteins are authentic.

Mine was 6 inches. The newer 58's have taller sights and are closer to dead on but the Colt sights haven't changed.

Conversion Cylinders

Does anyone make conversion cylinders for an ASM 1860 Sherrif's model?

I want to say that you would want to use an Uberti cc for it, but don't have an Uberti cylinder, and my Pietta cylinder is a bit too long.
