If you mean a "factory" conversion,( 1851/1860 RM conversion, man with no name 51', open top) and not a conversion cylinder (Kirst/R&D) to put in a percussion revolver, then yes.

They are cartridge guns, and as such require transfer through an FFL. That's what Buffalo Arms will tell you. It's the law.
