I have 2 3rd generation Colts: an 1860 Army and 1851 Navy. They are new in box and have never been fired. I shoot black powder, but flintlock rifles are really my thing. Precusion pistols,....no. I traded a cut-down Brown Bess for these probably 20 plus years ago and have done nothing with them. Wishing I still had the Bess. I have 2 thoughts::
1. Selling them, but not sure of the value or if there is even a market for them at a reasonable price.
2. Seeing if anyone makes a conversion for the Colt revolvers.
I have seen the conversion kits for the Uberti and Pietta revolvers but had not seen the same for the Colts. Am I ruining the value or wasting my time converting them? I would be more likely to shoot them as a conversion. If not, they are either going to continue to sit in my safe until I pass on and my kids can figure it out or I am going to sell them.
Thoughts?
