I WAS surprised to hit the Cabelas site and see a conversion cylinder for 45 Long Colt cost about as much as the whole revolver. Close to a coupla hundred bucks...????

Yup, they are outrageous. There is a recent thread here about a fellow who is considering making them for $140 or so.
It must be a combination of the liability plus the limited market.
But that's why I never bought one - for the price of the cylinder and the revolver you could but an actual cartridge-shooting revolver that has much better internal components than the BP guns have.
I find the BP guns have sub-standard heat treating as they have found that most customers don't shoot them enough to wear them out.
