Description
Taylor and co conversion
A drop-in taylor and co conversion cylinder allows you to fire centerfire ammunition in your blackpowder revolver. It will convert your blackpowder revolver to fire Cowboy ammunition. Only top grade certified steel (4150 Steel Cylinder and 4140 Steel Top Plate) is used in the production of these cylinders to offer superior quality, strength and safety. No FFL required to purchase. Not for use in brass frame revolvers. Not available in all areas.
- Due to manufacturing variations in revolvers, some minor fitting may be required. Revolver pistol use only.
Installation
The conversion cylinder has a plate at the rear of the cylinder body that contains the firing pins. The plate is removed by lifting it off the cylinder body. There is an indexing pin in the body so that the firing pins align properly with the chambers in the cylinder. Removing the plate allows access to the chambers in the cylinder body. Load the chambers with the specified caliber of ammunition. Replace the plate. Remove the original cylinder from the blackpowder handgun and replace that cylinder with the conversion cylinder. After firing, the conversion cylinder must be removed and the plate lifted off so that the empty brass can be removed with a rod or other suitable object (not included with the cylinder).
Note: This conversion cylinder is for BLACK POWDER cartridges or black powder equivalent cartridges (also called Cowboy Ammunition) with lead bullets on a steel frame revolver ONLY. Attempting to use modern ammunition and/or installation on a brass frame will create a dangerous condition that can result in injury or death. Dry firing with the conversion installed will damage the firing pins.

Works as promised,easy to load & unload. Groups well in my 12″ barrel. Can move from one weapon to another. Do not have to clean all the time!
Larry –
The cylinder dropped in OK but the timing was wrong and I had to send the pistol to Taylor & Co. for repair. I was told that this situation is not uncommon. They did the repair for free except for a $7.00 money order for return shipping. It seems to be a good product but I probably would not have purchased it if I knew I would have to send my pistol to VA to make it work.
