Does cylinder cartridge conversions work on older Remington revolvers of the right caliber?
I have read about these modern conversion cylinders that work with the modern reproductions of the Remington Cap and Ball revolvers, where you simply switch the cylinder and you have a cartridge revolver. I wonder if these work on original Remington revolvers from the 1860's? I know those revolvers could not handle smokeless cartridges, but, for example, a .38 Special cylinder can still fire shorter rounds, like .38 Short Colt, which original Navy models would have been converted to, can't it?
