Since Ruger won't, why don't we?
What would it take to convert one? I'm thinking about interchangeability whereas you remove the Blackhawk cylinder and drop in a cap 'n ball cylinder. That way it can be readily reconverted to a cartridge gun.
I can see problems with the frame mounted firing pin. Said pin has to strike the cap just right to ignite it. It has a considerably smaller surface area than a ROA hammer.
Reloading of course would be by removing the cylinder and loading it outside of the frame.
Thoughts please.
