I find the barrel legnth on the LBR to be exsesive and need the brace to take some of the weight of my gammy wrist but i know others dont need the brace and shoot well without it. Loading of the conversion would be as per a b/p cap and ball pistol with powder viles and once mastered should be no slower and probably a lot less fiddly than a Ruger old army or a Rogers and spencer ect. Take into acount easier cleaning than a b/p pistol and no bullet loading sessions like a LBR and it starts to look very intresting indeed.
Anyone know how much to convert a LBR, or do you have to buy a whole new gun?
Hi Tim

I shoot a NMA in 44 & I use measured phials a separate press for reloading ball takes a fraction of the time compared to doing it on the gun.

I would seriously be interesed in this nitro jobby !!
