Yes. Taylors makes the R&D conversion cylinder (I have a Taylors for my Remy) and there are Kirst conversion cylinders too. The Taylors is a drop in replacement that you have to remove each time to load it and the Kirst requires a cutout to be done on your recoil shield so that the cylinder can be loaded while in the revolver. The drop in conversion cylinders do not require the revolver to be reclassified nor require you to submit paperwork to the ATF for the cylinders. But unless you do the cutout work yourself on your recoil shield for the Kirst cylinder, the shop or gunsmith you have do it will have to reclassify your former BP revolver as a cartridge gun and you will have to fill out the ATF forms as you would with any post 1899 cartridge gun.
