1858 New Army Conversion

The 1858 New Army was among the first  of the Civil War era percussion revolvers  converted to fire metallic cartridges.

1851 Navy Conversion

Original cap-and-ball cylinders were altered or replaced by a cartridge cylinder with a loading gate and new breech face.

1860 Army Conversion

Colt introduced the Richards-Mason conversion, which involved installing a conversion ring for  accepting metallic cartridges.

1871 Early Model Open-Top

In 1872, Colt introduced its factory-installed percussion-to-cartridge conversion of the 1851 Navy cap-and-ball.

1872 Late Model Open-Top

Converted frames were also dovetailed to permit the fitting of an ejector assembly.
