Coyote Hunter,........I have a Shooters Rem, and really like it. I remember discussing it a little with you over on "THR" forum awhile ago.
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=4371046#post4371046I looked into using a Kirst conversion in it and concluded it won't work , or at least I couldn't find a simple solution to fitting one. I could get the Kirst cyl. into the frame and it spun around easily at half-cock,...but that was it. It wouldn't lock up when attemting to cock it without the help of hand turning,even then it was dicey,....but I didn't go much further because I didn't want to scratch the new Kirst cyl.
One of the drawbacks is that the earlier Shooters Rem, and in fact all the Pietta Rem NMA had narrow cyl. notches (.138" wide), and the current Kirst Pietta Rem conversion cyls have a wider notch (.153").
Here's a photo,....Shooters cyl. on left....Kirst cyl. on right.

Maybe a regular Pietta cyl. bolt could be fitted to the Shooters Rem, I don't know. Also, I've heard there are other slight misalignment problems to fitting the Kirst conversion into the Shooters Rem, but don't know exactly what . One would have to procede step by step,.....and it all didn't seem worth the time & money to get into it. But it would be interesting to know if anyone has been succesful in fitting the Kirst cyl. to function well.
