Howell Old West Conversions Conversion Cylinder 31 Caliber Pietta 1863 Pocket Steel Frame Black Powder Revolver 32 S&W 5-Round Blue

This Howell Conversion Cylinder is for the new steel frame 1863 Remington Pocket model from Pietta. It converts the .31 caliber ‘Remington’ to fire the .32 S&W Short cartridge only and is for those who prefer the ‘Remington’ design over the “Colt’ style revolvers. Great for side matches or just shooting in general.

• Due to manufacturing variations in revolvers, some minor fitting may be required.

Installation
The conversion cylinder has a plate at the rear of the cylinder body that contains the firing pins. The plate is removed by lifting it off the cylinder body. There is an indexing pin in the body so that the firing pins align properly with the chambers in the cylinder. Removing the plate allows access to the chambers in the cylinder body. Load the chambers with the specified caliber of ammunition. Replace the plate. Remove the original cylinder from the black powder handgun and replace that cylinder with the conversion cylinder. After firing, the conversion cylinder must be removed and the plate lifted off so that the empty brass can be removed with a rod or other suitable object (not included with the cylinder).
Note

This conversion cylinder is for black powder cartridges or black powder equivalent cartridges (also called Cowboy Ammunition) with lead bullets on a steel frame revolver ONLY. Attempting to use modern ammunition and/or installation on a brass frame will create a dangerous condition that can result in injury or death. Dry firing with the conversion installed will damage the firing pins.
