Is it real, or is it Memorex(tm)?

I have seen discussion of a cartridge conversion cylinder, chambered for the .32 S&W cartridge, for the 1863 Remington Pocket Model, being bandied about. One member here told me he had some, but when I got the funds together and tried to contact him, he turned up incommunicado. I swear, and I was stone sober at the time, that I saw one on the Cheaper Than Dirt Web site, but couldn't find it five minutes later.

Straight up, Pards, does anyone here know - know - that these things actually exist and where to get one?

Regarding the Kirst Remington 1863:

We introduced these not long ago but have run into a problem with them. Under recoil the hammer will move to the rear enough to unlock the cylinder and rotate the cylinder several degrees. When you load all 5 chambers you will never notice the problem and it is not a safety issue as the cylinder is locked until after the cartridge fires. It is very annoying to us.
We have determined that the Original 1863 conversions suffered from the same problem but due to the rimfire converter design, where the hammer was also the firing pin, the hamer acted as a secondary locking bolt. So far with the centerfire design we have been unable to solve the problem and believe me guy's weve tried a bunch of solutions.

So for the time being we have pulled the 63 converter from the market. We will let you know when we get the problem solved!
We are issuing call tags for those that have been sold and will refund the purchase price.

... I'm on Buffalo Arms like once or twice a week, how did I manage to miss that? Okay, I'm going to stand up now and see if I can find my own butt with both hands...  

I see Raven has explained the problem, thanks. I'm going to get one of those from Buffalo Arms anyway.
