I bought one about 6 years ago. I love it. I use a fiberglass rod to remove the spent cases. Then I don’t worry about removing the other rod. And not scratching the finish. I also added the snakes last year. It’s really cool. It shoots great too.
It does show him disassembling it as a conversion, reassembling it and loading shells in it, in the good, the bad, and the ugly. There's no pretending it's a cap and ball pistol in the movie as i recall.
1851 Navy Conversion "Beginning in 1868, thousands of black powder Colt revolvers and Remington percussion revolvers were converted to cartridge revolvers. Among them: the 1851 Navy, 1858 New Army, and 1860 Army. Remington was the first to introduce single action cartridge conversion revolvers in 1868. The original cap-and-ball cylinder of the 1858 New Army cartridge revolver was replaced by a cartridge cylinder with a loading gate and a new breech face. The frame was dovetailed to accept an ejector assembly. The Remington conversion chambered five, .46-caliber rimfire cartridges. In 1871, Colt received an Army contract to convert one thousand Model 1860 Army percussion revolvers to use the .44-caliber centerfire cartridge being manufactured at the Frankford Arsenal. In 1872, Colt began filling civilian orders for their metallic cartridge revolvers. These were an open-top conversion of the 1851 Navy. The next design was introduced in 1873, when Colt produced the Richards-Mason conversion of the 1860 Army. Using a system patented by Colt employees Charles Richards and William Mason, the old cap and ball cylinders were cut down at the back to permit the installation of a conversion ring to accept metallic cartridges." berettagalleryusa.com/products/uberti-1851-navy-conversion#:~:text=Beginning%20in%201868%2C%20thousands%20of,cartridge%20conversion%20revolvers%20in%201868.
This one isn't a historically authentic conversion like say a Richards-Mason as far as I can tell, but I wanted the loading lever look rather than the spring ejector look.
Their website is never in sync with what they have, it's pretty terrible. Even their store front in Fredericksburg, Texas can't order what you want they just get what they get. I found this one randomly in a gun shop. Your best bet is to use ammoseek (not sure if I'm even allowed to post the whole website name, sorry) and do a search for this gun.

That's a good idea, it's probably faster to use a dedicated rod than to constantly remove and replace the built in one.

I'll take your word for it, no matter how many times I watch that movie I always notice something new. Thanks!

@@commonsensepreparednesschannel thank you very much!
one click back on the hammer is the safety...
On a 4 click yes, on a 3 click the first click frees up the cylinder.
