The gun is listed twice for Clint Eastwood in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. He just used the cartridge conversion model (which hadn't been invented at the time)as did everyone else in the film. If I remember correctly Lee Van Cleef carried a Remington New Army. He had a cartridge belt on it but in the closeups of the final shootout at the graveyard you can see percussion caps on cylinder.

Cartridge Conversions?
Due to the popularity of Colt Revolver reproductions, this is very hard to find out just by searching randomly on the internet. I have been wondering what cartridges the original Colt 1851 Navy was converted to aside from .38 Short Colt. This very imfdb page says the Richards-Mason conversion existed in .38 Long Colt and that cartridge seems to be used in a lot of movies too. But the .38 Long was mainly used in the Colt M1892 it seems, which seems a bit late to convert a Colt Navy. Was there .38 Long conversions of 1851 Navy's in the 19th century, or are those just modern reproductions?
Additionally, was there ever any conversions to .38 S&W? And finally was there ever any .44 Caliber Conversions?
Thanks in advance. Z008MJ (talk) 10:39, 23 February 2014 (EST)
