Difference between a Griswald and Gunnison and a 1851 brasser in 44

[AR. Hillbilly]

 Just curious is the only difference the round barrel.
I understand the G&G were 36 cal also.
Thinking Pietta here.

AR, Howdy my friend. I don't personally own one of the Griswold and Gunnison revolvers. Here's a link to a .36 cal G & G below. Thinking of buying? Neat lookin' revolver I think. I like the rounded barrel myself.

Thanks Bud that’s a cool read.
I’m not going to be buying much for a while.
Just wondering the differences.
Was wondering if I could convert my brasser to a somewhat correct replica?

Round barrel and no cylinder scene.

Thanks Bud.
Did Pietta make a 44 barrel for them or only 36?

Seems like Pietta mentioned the G n G in their write up on their “Reb” model🤔 .44 cal?

[ShotgunDave]

Pietta G&G will be brass framed, round barrel and no cylinder scene. They are made in both .36 and .44 caliber. The .36 is the historically accurate chambering. The .44 is a fantasy gun.

What Dave said.
Yes, you should be able to turn the barrel round and replicate. I believe the barrels are also tapered. They pop up on GB all the time...don't know if I would invest the time in making one when you can just buy one.
