Looks legit to custom make Sulun Arms SR-45 Revolver - .45 can be turned in revolver.

If I am not mistaken some of the Cattlemen carbines and Remington New Model Army percussion revolver carbines are also legal, might be wrong.

they all have a fixed stock or are either antique and basically any rules kinda disappears with antique guns. unless they are still over 26inches with a pistol grip (post 1898 aka not antique)

I am talking about the rifle stocked carbines, they have completely different frames/grips.

[u/Spiritual_Rope_6952 → u/theborealethos]

yeah that’s a fixed stock on it

Different frame as well, New Model Army Remingtons differ from Colts in that the grip frame on a Colt is bolted on. You couldn’t easily convert a rifle stocked Remington with a pistol grip where as one of the rifle stocked Colt’s could be switched by just putting on a different grip frame. I am actually probably in the minority in that I think the Remington is a better design, you don’t have your rear sight moving with your hammer, it’s fixed on top of the frame. The solid frame means they wear out less, especially when people are shooting brass framed guns. The Remingtons biggest downside is a smaller ø arbor pin which doesn’t have grease grooves the way a colt does. The last time I took my percussion revolvers out shooting my Colt was getting weak hammer strikes because a busted cap got sucked into the action between the frame and hammer and I basically had to pull it back past the sear while pulling the trigger to get it to ignite the other caps. The culprit cap in question

Conversely my Remington Pietta copy starts to kind of get sticky usually after maybe 3 or 4 cylinders.
