Lately, I've seen quite a few of the cap 'n' ball Colts converted to cartridge guns. Mostly I've seen the 1861 Army's, loaded to 44 Colt(?) I think. For some unexplainable reason, I'm really taken by the Colt Paterson and was wondering if a good strong replica could be converted along the same lines. Has anyone out there had this done or know anything about it? What type of cartridge would the Colt Paterson handle?
