Yep, that's what HoofHearted private messaged me too.

That makes sense, and is good to know if one already has a 2nd or 3rd model Dragoon they decide to put a Walker percussion cylinder on.
But it also makes sense to me, that if one knows ahead of time, that they are going to put a Walker oval stops percussion cylinder on a Dragoon they haven't bought yet, it also makes sense to just buy a 1st model Dragoon that already has the same oval bolt that the Walker percussion cylinder takes.
