Is a conversion cylinder legal in md

True. You have to use light loads. The points made by the LibsH8ter are valid, too.

A further point: what is the groove diameter of the revolver? Is it suitable for the intended CAS loads?

A big problem which I understand is endemic among cap-and-ball revolvers is oversized bores. For some reason, the barrels of theseguns are typically bored way oversized. Since bullet diameter is absolutely determined by the chamber diameter, the only way to shoot proper-sized balls is to open up the chambers.

I still have an 1860 Army that was reamed out to .47 by Pistolsmith Tom Hobbes many years ago.

Not planning on self-defense use.
The system kit I'm looking into uses a .44 revolver, has a barrel insert a new cylinder and is a .22 LR. Ought to be fun for plinking or at most, small game hunting. In this case shouldn't need to worry much about bore size or light ammo.

Thanks.

I know I can own it, but I want to know that I can fire it legally at a public range in MD, without paperwork.

What paperwork are people asking you to show at a range? This is pretty odd.

There is no requirement that I am aware of other than Class 3 that requires you to have any paperwork when you go shooting.
