Colt Richards-mason Conversion: Nickeled Steel Perfection!

With patents for the conversion of percussion revolvers, Colt® employees Charles Richards and William Mason cut off the cap-and-ball cylinders at the back and installed a conversion ring to accept cartridges. These conversion revolvers were favorites then and are enjoying popularity again as favorite reproductions. This Navy version of the C. Mason revolvers features a nickel plated brass backstrap and triggerguard,nickel plated octagonal barrel with brass post front sight, and a smaller-size Navy grip. C. Mason models feature a forged nickel plated steel frame, nickel finish parts, modern ejector rod, and hammer with notched rear sight.
