I was wondering if any of you fellas have ever put a conversion cylinder in an 1851 with a brass frame? I have been advised not to do it with the brass frame but i've also heard that if you use lighter loads it wont hurt the gun. What do you guys think?

  Sure, if you get light enough, but who decides what that is?

  Besides loosening up earlier, the bore is way oversized for the 38 spl.

  Are we assuming it's a .36cal? They also make an 1851 in .44 that coverts to a 45.
  
  v35 is correct, a 36 cal bore uses a .375 ball....trust me, I have a pair of 58 Remmies in 36cal! [;)]
