I got an email from Taylors today (04.17.2022) that the conversion cylinders are on sale. Really good price compared to Kirst.If still interested I just purchased the 1851 conversion cylinder from midway the Howell version does not matter they are all quality cylinders Howell and Taylor. No issues mine has the scene engraved
I got an 1858 fro a member here and the second time out it misfired every other shot. Turns out the hammer was binding on the way to the cap. Just needed a more detailed cleaning. I guess that is on me and the seller. Shoots great after that.Yep, shoulda - I trust the members here selling whatever, because whatever they're selling is exactly what you've seen & gotten. (and usually well worth the asking)
As long as it is not a brand new member I would never hesitate to buy from a member.I got an 1858 fro a member here and the second time out it misfired every other shot.

Ok, after freaking out and checking all my Uberti's. The "arbor test" shows they all fit correctly. Picked up an 1851 & 1861 from Midway last year. Only issue is CCI #10's are a little small for the nipples (can't find Rem. #10's). A small clip on the cap with some nippers fixes that for now. I was also lucky enough to find a Cimarron 1860 Richards conversion earlier this year. I think Cimarron and Taylors add their own quality control, which is why they are a little more$$. It looks like this stuff is popular, as soon as a distributor gets some in stock, they go right back out. I've been eyeing the 1849 too. Maybe yours was just a lemon and I got lucky. I hope Midway steps up & takes care of you.

They didn't want to take the return from me, but the straw that broke the camels back for them was me threatening a lawsuit over selling me an unsafe firearm. Less than 15 minutes they called me. Complete with instructions on how to return.I wouldn't buy anything from Midway, they are a horrible company to deal with, and practice out-right thievery. A while back, I purchased a Uberti 1862 police with a 5.5" barrel from them. The gun arrived all covered in rust, a locked in place cylinder, and a corroded barrel. Obviously had been fired and never cleaned, then shipped to me. Really torqued off, but I just sent it back for a refund. Initially that was then end of it, my money was returned to my debit card and I was done dealing with Midway. Three weeks later, as I'm checking my bank app, I discover Midway has recharged my debit card, without any authorization or approval from me, and given me "Midway Bucks" in the amount of the purchase price of the revolver. I didn't want their stinking "Midway Bucks", I wanted those thieving B@$+@rds to give me my money back and keep their money grubbing paws out of my bank account. It took me months of hassling, getting hung up on by "customer service" who I never treated abusively, talking to several managers, after enduring incredibly long hold periods on the phone, and an e-mail straight to "Good Ole Larry" (which he never responded to) to finally get those thiefs to return my money. I see on their website now they do not accept returns on black powder guns, so if they send you a used, rusty piece of garbage, good luck getting your money back.

A good lesson here. Always use a credit card for online purchases! No access to your money.I wouldn't buy anything from Midway, they are a horrible company to deal with, and practice out-right thievery.
