Description
The 1860 Army revolver was adopted as US government ordnance because of its lighter weight, improved balance, and superior ballistics. This 6-shot percussion revolver became very popular with mounted troops and went on to be the issued sidearm for the US Army for many years. The Taylor's & Company Pietta 1860 Police Snubnose Black Powder Revolver features a steel frame, white heat-treated steel parts (to be cared for like blued steel), shoulder stock frame cuts and screws, round barrel, fixed front blade sight, brass loading rod included in the box, rebated cylinder with half fluting, steel backstrap and triggerguard, and a flattop birdshead checkered walnut grip. A conversion cylinder is available for this model that is a drop-in conversion to smokeless .45LC/.45Schofield ammunition.

Yeah, I don't get this model. Midway and Pietta both list it as "in the white unfinished metal." Not stainless or plated. I've only owned bp rifles and they were always fairly abusive to the finish regardless of my cleaning regimen, especially after 20 years of hunting. A bp revolver should have even more residue which would readily damage and stain an unfinished carbon gun. I guess just accept the character. Seems goofy but maybe someone else has an idea. The blued model looks better to me.
How's this work if you buy and drop in the 45lc conversion cylinder? As being black powdered, it is shipped directly to a customer without any sort of checks like a regular firearm. So what's the law on converting it to regular ammo at home? Seems like a felony to me?... anyone actually know?
Unfinished in the white BP ? Negative. This is the one you want:
