never fear it is already stripped down!
but................... it is feasible.
also known as how to turn a 4.5 lb. hand gun into an 8 pound club!

Don’t know about any grotesque face mask regulations, but I remember reading (I’m not going to take the time to check where) that electronic ignitions (think it was CVA/Traditions) were illegal in some areas for hunting, so maybe not a viable alternative. I have never heard one way or the other about using a piezo ignitor in a hunting scenario, though with a bit of hairspray they work great in a potato muzzleloader.You know you can replace the percussion lock with an electric squib, zero lock time
You can make a hole in the handle for the battery and cover it with a grotesque face mask cover

Not practical on an open top unless mounted "scout style" ahead of the cylinder gap. I have a scoped RedHawk but the top strap allows it to be fixed over the cylinder gap which shields the scope tube from the gas escapement impact and potential failure.
It could be accomplished on a ROA or any other closed frame gun with a bit of mill work or tapping and drilling for mounts.

I have that very set up loose in my safe I picked up at a gun show some years back. I think it is made in China by a company called Hi-Lux if memory serves. Seems to be of reasonable precision for a knock off but nothing compared to the quality of an MVA rig.
I have a similar set up made by MVA but 23 inches long in Silhouette micro meter adjustment mounts on a Low Wall match .22 rifle.

I put a LPVO and IR designator on my Colt. Took a bit to figure out where to put the touch switches. Adding a silencer next week, it's getting threads tapped as we speak.

I think this whole thread is an existential exercise in doing it just because.
Well, we can talk about Eotech's, red dots, holographic sights, LPVO's, Scopes, bi pods, Muzzle brakes, flash hiders, suppressors, etc etc. I mean they ARE going on a forum appropriate weapon. 
It generated a vision….I saw a Chester White hog in a red bikini…
I belive Dykes Reber of the Muzzleloader shop did that. The whole revolver was Nitrited.
