UK Taurus conversion.

[emmagee1917]

Neat . I love it when someone can get around stupid laws made by idiots with the IQ and superstitions of twelfth century peons. Do you have to remove the cylinder to reload ? I there a separate press set up to seat the bullets do to the pistol's lack of a rammer ? The old army is a tough gun , I wonder if a conversion cylinder could be done on it ? Spare pre-loaded cylinders for rapid reloads ala Clint Eastwood ? Love the possibilites.

The guy who did the conversion does conversions etc for the Ruger old army and other BP muzzle loading revolvers, was going to make one for my own Ruger old army and also a spare cylinder for the Taurus.

(The cylinder is removed for reloading, a reloading stand comes as part of the conversion)

Get a couple of spare cylinders and you're in business.

Thats not as easy as it sounds because they have to be on your licence, so you need to apply for a slot for a spare cylinder, and some Forces would not allow a spare cylinder until recently, as there are now more comps etc that are based on BP revolvers and require a spare cylinder etc to compete.

Wow. That's really sad.
