Heavy-handed modding? Or what?

Dear Mods - You have pulled my post because you say that I was discussing cartridge conversions.

At no time did I mention converting a percussion revolver into a cartridge-firing revolver.

My whole point was that they had simply converted a perfectly adequate $350 percussion revolver into $1000 percussion revolver with no clear advantage.

How was this wrong?

I completely agree with you Tac. I read the item and your post. No mention of cartridge at all. Maybe the nitro?

The reason your topic was removed is because the pistol in the link uses a cylinder conversion that changes the gun from a historically correct black powder pistol, into a smokeless powder cap and ball pistol that is fired with modern #209 shotgun primers.

Although the cylinder conversion is not the same as the historically correct, real "conversion" cylinder pistol that changed the gun into a cartridge firing pistol, the only real difference is this newly made gun does not use modern metallic cartridges in the chambers.

With this conversion, the gun in the link reminds me of the modern, in-line guns we don't talk about on the forum. I could have removed the link but in doing so, the entire topic would not make any sense to anyone who read it, so I removed the topic.

By the way, in my opinion, the open forums are not the place to discuss issues like this one. Use the "Conversation" method of voicing your thoughts to the moderators.
