Buckeye Ken, do you have the R&D drop in cylinder or the Kirst conversion?

 

[buckeye ken]

colt walker conversion

It is the R&D

 

[don3]

I have the Kirst on mine and the recoil shield ground down for loading, I'm in Maine for the weekend but when I get back home I'll post as a picture. Do you have photos of yours?

 

[buckeye ken]

not sure how to post it

 

[MikeG]

You'll have to use a third-party site like Photobucket, at least till you get 25 posts here and 10 days on the forum.

Here is my Walker conversion, The work was done by "Ravens roost" in Texas. I have not got a chance to shoot this yet so don't know how accurate it is but I'm sure it will be fun!

Very nice Don.

I looked long and hard at a Uberti Walker.
Went Ruger Old Army instead and never looked back.

How does she shoot with RBs?

Thanks, my friend has a old army with R&D cylinder, nice gun. Hay, is that your cat? here's mine, name is Gus and he don't like anyone but me:

 

[MMichaelAK]

Yep, that's Herb. Herb likes everyone and everyone likes him. Well, he doesn't like other cats in our yard. He gets outside and thinks he's gotta protect the pride lands.
Have R&D Conversion cylinders for both my ROAs.

Ive also got a pair of Pietta 1860 Armys and Sherrif's model 1860 and then an older Army San Marco 1851 Colt brass frame. Every once in a while I think about getting the 1860s converted to .45 Schofield like a Richards Mason conversion. It may just be cheaper to buy a pair of 1872 Open Tops instead.
