Hey guys. So, I also want to buy a "1862 Police Snubnose .36 Caliber Revolver" from Cabela's(Pietta), but I don't want to port it. I might buy the ported Kirst from River Junction for $249.95 but I heard mention of one around $230? So my question is this: can I buy an unported version for this gun? Or, if I get the ported one at River Junction, how much tooling do I need to do if I don't want to grind a loading channel in the frame as I have limited tools at my disposal and don't want a firearm? Thanks.

I also found some R&D converters at The Possibles shop. They're for Pietta 1851 - 1861 Navys but if I'm correct the Pietta snubnose uses the same frame. So, logic dictates that they should fit. For $50 less and, assuming that it is "drop in" like they advertise this seems like the better deal(As I dont want to port anything).
