Uberti's 1851 Richards and Mason conversion is listed as a 38 SPL..
My question is is the barrels bore and rifling made the same as the cap and ball 1851 Navy and you need to use hollow base wad cutters in it or is it a ture 38 SPL. bore?
 
I was watching one of these on Gunbroker. Seller had it used at $350. Even came with a left handed shoulder holster. I'm left handed so it would've been perfect.

I was trying to hold off till payday. Well the it didn't sell the and is no longer listed.
 
I have one and it is very accurate and a low recoil fun gun. I had to order mine from Cimarron and wait a couple of months until they shipped it to my dealer. Seems like the cost new in 2013 was around $ 550.
 
I was having a lot of accuracy issues with my CB conversion even after going to a heel bullet
Picked up a new barrel and WOW what a difference. I really had not noticed how shallow the rifling was tell I compared it to the new barrel
Shoots wonderful now , to bad the rest of the pistol is as warn out as the barrel was LOL
