It's too bad some manufacturer doesn't start making a good muzzle loading revolver with a .357 bore and a real long cylinder.

And then it's too bad that another manufacturer doesn't make a "conversion" cylinder that would fit it and hold .38 or .357 rounds and be a drop-in fit.

I...uh....just think.....uh.....that it would be...uh...handy if you were out shooting black powder and suddenly ran out of powder or.....uh.....sumpin so you could drop in the .....uh....."conversion" to keep shooting.

winkety wink
 
Don't look too hard or you just might find that you can stay within the same maker's products to accomplish your goals. .44 probably easiest but .36 might be doable.

Sam...my favorite 9mm is the 9X32R
 
Major problem.I had a 36 converted to 38 S&W and one converted to 38 spec.Bore dia for the 36 BP is way too large.You can drop a 38 slug in the end of the barrel and liston to it bounce all way down to the cylinder.You have to either sleeve the barrel or rebarrel.Sorry to burst a bubble.

Saw a conversion unit like this recently, in Guns & Ammo, I think, for one of the Remington Black Powder handgun clones.

The cylinder, which had a firing pin for each round, was reasonably priced and would simply fit in the place of the BP cylinder. You had to take a "cap" off the back of the cylinder to load it, so speed loads were not an option.

Seems as though it was set up for .38 special.
