45 ACP (no ffl) conversion cylinders.

[Darto]

Not exactly cheap but an 1858 Remington percussion will take nifty 45 ACP cylinders. no ffl required.
I have 0 experience with 45ACP cylinders, but my 45 Long Colt cylinder (Howells) works perfect in Pietta 1858 Remmy.
Here's how they load (45 ACP)



Howells has them for Uberti or Pietta

Has 5 firing pins (in the cylinder head). Removed for cleaning with this if you don't one already...

Hmmm. I may need to do this. I don't have enough 45acp stuff yet.

Or enough 45 Colt...

OK, the percussion revolvers don't require an FFL because they don't fire a "fixed cartridge" and so are not firearms. And the cylinders are available online without an FFL because the are not a receiver or a firearm. But when you put one one in a percussion revolver, how are you not manufacturing a firearm, which requires a license in CA (and federally)?

Don't ask questions that you don't want answers to...

Because Midway will ship the gun and cylinder direct to your door in California. These online retailers will too: Budds, Cimmaron, Taylors, EMF, Cabelas, Dixie Gun Works, Old South, etc.



They can't all be wrong, surely? I bought gun and cylinder from Midway, came in the same box to my residence, I have no FFL.

One thing is you must use lead bullets. Actually led bullets are way cheaper if you reload. But no jacketed bullets....
EDIT: or the plastic tipped bullets (apparently, because that's what I see in the youtube video in #1).

These are nice and a good learning curve for true old school shooting.

[plumbum]

Are plated bullets a no-no?

Please cite reference to how this IS manufacturing a firearm.

Very nice ....
Only problem , it costs more than i paid for the pistol .........

Is it different than dropping in a DIAS into your AR? If one is making it a machine gun isn't the other making it a firearm? They are both utilizing "drop in" pieces to effectively change them into "new" weapons.

Those are for NRA bullseye shooting. I have loaded many, many of them. Are you looking to unload them? (no pun intended, but I'm going to stick with it now)
