The Howell is a straight "drop in" cylinder, but I can see advantages to the Kirst as being similar to the original 1872 Richardson conversion in that it has a loading gate. I was previously not familiar with the Kirst cylinder conversion, but am with the Howell. Most, perhaps not all, shooters and collectors would balk at modifying an original if it meant milling, filing, or grinding something. I'll "stay tuned" and we'll probably both learn when the man with the answers comes along.Ī couple of things I'd like to chat with you about are: Is the 1851 Navy in question an actual original Colt, or is it an Italian replica? Your post leaves the question open for speculation. I don't know all of the answers to your questions, but you're topic is one in which I've recently become quite interested.
