the job is really easy. i did it to my 1858 pietta. i started out using a dreme. then just thought this sucks. so i took out my corded makita and used the 5/8 grinding drum then drum sanders. then took apart the gun and refinished it. the end result is awesome. i also have a R&D for my Walker. its just so much fun shooting it with the loading gate and not having to remove the cylinder all the time. you dont have to be a gunsmith.. The cylinder was a little long when i got it. i shaved a bit off the front then the back feet to make it fit properly then took apart the gun and ported it out. then refinsh here are some pics.
