Built on the open-top Colt-style platform, this Richards-Mason conversion features a separate conversion ring and a right-side loading gate, retaining the look and handling of the original percussion design while using centerfire cartridges. An under-barrel ejector assembly completes the cartridge conversion setup.
The 7.5-inch octagonal barrel is blued and wedge-retained, combining period-correct construction with a durable finish. Fixed sights include a brass front post and a fixed rear sight for a straightforward sight picture.
Steel is used for the barrel and frame, with the frame showing a color case-hardened finish and the barrel and cylinder finished in blue. The brass trigger guard and backstrap, along with walnut Navy-profile grips, provide classic lines and a comfortable, traditional grip shape.
The unfluted six-shot cylinder is blued and roll-engraved with a naval battle scene, a hallmark detail of the 1851 Navy pattern. Markings include STOEGER, ACCOKEEK, MD – A. UBERTI – ITALY, along with CIP and Gardone proof marks. Frame components are matching-numbered. Manufacturer part number is 0925, and the country of origin is Italy.
