You must be aware, however, that when you install the Kirst Cartridge Konverter® into a black powder revolver (also a non-firearm buy Federal classification), you have created a firearm and must therefore be legally able to possess firearms in accordance with the laws of your community. The Kirst Cartridge Konverter® is not a firearm, it is classified as a firearm accessory and is therefore not subject to firearms requirements.
Why is it, when I buy a firearm from a dealer I must fill out the time consuming paperwork for the NICC (National Instant Criminal Check) background check, but I can buy the Kirst Cartridge Konverter® without this nuisance and delay?Ī. Oh, and whatever the reason, I'm sorry it happened.
The cause was either an oversized primer pocket, or a primer not fully seated in handloaded rounds. I know of one case where a single action revolver blew up when two cartridges went off at the same time. In my experience, when all of the facts are known it's the ammunition that did it. As for the cylinder maker, you are going to have to prove that the cylinder was defective, and the ammunition wasn't the cause. It says on the barrel "Black Powder Only," so the company who made it is off the hook.

Usually when you see this sort of thing happen one of those two factors (or both) came into play. If you were using reloaded ammunition and still have some of it, you need to take several rounds apart and check to see if you were really using the powder you thought you were, and if the charge is the correct weight.
