Cool pics. This is the type of conversion Angel Eyes would have had for his Remington, in the final gunfight he's toggeled back to his cap and ball cylinder, even though he has some cartridges left in his belt.

Those guns are awesome looking! Great post Clinton.
I love the rattlesnakes on the grips of Blondie's guns. They're courtesy of Rowdy Yates, from the second episode of Rawhide. Rowdy got them from a nasty desperado who is killed, very Leone-style, on the belltower of a Catholic Church when the giant bell hits him in the back! I could see any incarnation of the Man With No Name pulling a stunt like that.
Bloody Hell!!! you guys never cease to amaze me. I'm sure no other film forum has detail like this one does...As someone we all know might say..."BRAVO"ICE
Damn interesting reading about those old firearms. I have two questions for you pistoleros (maybe you went through this earlier, in that case, please enlighten me):1. Most of the converted revolvers i have seen lacks the ejector rod mounted to the side. Take Blondie's gun for example. Is that just an error made by SL & co. or is it possible to eject the empty cartridges some other way?2. How do you get the bullets out of a cap and ball revolver if you want to remove them (without firing it, of course)?
So it´s possible to turn the ball seater push rod to the side?
