1858 Remington revolvers make a great base to convert a C&B to a .38 special with a drop in conversion.
No FFL is needed to buy them online and have them shipped right to your doorstep.
Same with the conversion unit.
This is true... but I don’t know that inexperienced gun buyers will be familiar with this without doing a good bit of research. At any rate, I think it has spurred some gun people to make those purchases that they’ve been thinking about instead of waiting Out of concern of supply disruption. Even on firearms considered “safe” from panic buying. I’ve been deployed a year and thought I was safe to wait. Now that I’m nearly home and actually placing orders... boys it’s tough out there. And not just for ARs and concealable pistols. Even surplus is taking a hit some. CMP is running out of Garands, Enfield rifles have spiked in price, and C&B revolvers are hard to find good selections of in stock. Heck I saw a Yugo 24/47 go for $500 at auction a couple days ago! Those have always been easy to pick up for around 300, maybe a bit more for numbers matching. Thank goodness I ordered all of my reloading stuff in March!
