My main goal is to have a very accurate converted walker with lots of character. I like the walker for its sheer size and character. How accurate can these converted walkers be? What (if anything) can be done to make them more accurate?

The cylinder length is massive ( 2-7/16' or 2.440') For those that have done this conversion, exactly how much jump is there using standard out of the box loads (1.600' length 45 colt)? The Kirst Konverter allows you to fire cartridges with your Cap & Ball revolver, just like the original conversion revolvers commonly used to settle the western frontier. One of my main concerns with the 45 colt conversion in a walker is the jump that the bullet must make to the throat of the barrel. Shooting a 36 cal Pietta Colt 1851 Navy reproduction with a 22lr conversion cylinder made by Kirst Konverter.Drop in cylinder so no modifications were made t. Not sure if this can be bought or must be custom made? I think I have seen some pictures floating around of a walker with an ejector rod setup. Any advantages or disadvantages with either of these ideas? I like the engraved scene on the cap and ball cylinder. I have done my research, and know that the load needs to be similar to BP. I will also be receiving the ejection port mechanism and loading gate version of the cylinder. The converter will allow the gun to use 45lc cartridges. Haven't figured out if I want a kirst or have the cap and ball cylinder reamed and cut down. Well my birthday came, and a family member ordered me one of these Kirst Konverter’s for my 1861 Pietta Navy in 44. Which of these two would give a better foundation for this project as far as build quality, accuracy ect….? Looking at either converting a 2nd gen colt walker or a new (current production) uberti walker to 45 colt. New here with a few questions on a project in mind.
