NEW PROJECT !!!!

[Coffinmaker]

Yepper!!  I are gonna be at it again.
I have had an itch ..... for literally years.  Wanted to put together a pair of Cartridge Conversions, built on Pietta 1860s.  Since I'm now really and truly RETIRED, I finally have the time and have saved up the Dinero to finance the project (not cheap).

I have ordered and have on the way a pair of Kirst Konverter "sets" that mime the conversion used by Tom Selleck in "Saber River."  Since I am going to use a pair of Pietta Laser Engraved 1860s, the engraving of the Kirst parts will fit right in.  Should wind up with the equivalent of a pair of Richards Type II conversions, only the correct size.  Except of course, the barrels will be some shorter

On Lord help all those little muzzles when they hit the floor  . Always did enjoy a good conversion 1860, had my first done by John Gren back before they became fashionable. Can't wait to see the finished result, should be glorious.

Lookin good, Coffinmaker! I am retired and also have the same itch. Amazing what can be done with these Open Tops. I just finished a Kirst/Pietta  .44/1851. Everything was pretty straight forward. Have done some of the usual stuff so I put a 12" barrel on that one for something different.

Since you like to "go long" on your conversions, maybe you could make a deal with Coffinmaker for all the cut off muzzles he must have laying around. Line 'em up and weld 'em together!
