Dutch Wheeler Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 So, after much internal debating with myself, I decided to order conversion cylinders from Taylors & Co. for my Remington New Model Army Percussion Pistols. Since they represent a significant investment, I was on the lookout for some sort of a storage devise to store and protect them when they were not installed in the pistols. I finally came across a very nice, ZIPPERED LEATHER POUCH on Amazon for only $15.00! Adding a 2" piece of foam, the cylinders are a perfect fit, keeping the backer plates and cylinders together and well protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Nice. Be sure the foam doesn't hold any moisture against the cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Spray 'em down with ballistol before storing them. Next time you use 'em, wipe 'em down with a paper towel, and install 'em in yor guns. Keeps the rust away & the firing pins loose --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Careful that the leather doesn't cause them to rust. I have been buying small SnapLock plastic food storage containers to use around the reloading room. the small sizes are great for bullets, round balls, and other small items. They are stackable and the lids are reasonably secure. They even make a size just about right to hold a conversion cylinder. Wrap them in rust prevention paper.

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Depending on how the leather was tanned, the interior of the pouch may cause rust. PLUS ONE to Sedalia Dave. Give em a nice oil wipe then wrap in rust preventive paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
