Colt Walker -- Before I go down this rabbit hole...

... I want to get a conversion cylinder for this new Uberti Walker. Before I get too invested in this, how easy is it to load and unload the conversion cylinder if I don't have the gun modified by cutting the recoil shield?

Drive the wedge out, pull the barrel/load lever assembly, remove cylinder, knock spent brass out of cylinder, load fresh rounds, reverse to reassemble. If the wedge is fitted properly shouldn't be more than 2 or 3 minutes.

It's really easy.   Above post described it well.   It's just like a Dragoon or an 1860 in that regard.

When I got my Walker converted, I did cut the frame to load from the rear, but my Dragoon, being a real Colt, Ieft alone and use the take the barrel off method.

But, be advised, the Walker is a BIG gun.   Walker is in my left hand.  Right hand is a 7.5 inch SAA in "milspec" configuration.
