    This is an older Konverter, set up for heel type bullets or HB WC. Most .36 C&Bs are .375 dia.
    Price new $325.

    Pertsev - thanks - I use several Kirst Konerters and that is why I asked. They make the .36 cylinders in two different ccnfigerations - .358 throats for barrels sleeved to .357 and .375 for use with heeled and the standard C & B .375 bore.

    I'm confused.
    What's the diameter of the throats?

    OK to clear up confusion. Throats are .375 for use with HB WC type bullets or heel type bullets in Konverter listed.
    The .36 cal cap and ball revolvers use a .375/.376 diameter barrel. When converted to .38 Colt/Special the bore is oversize so use HB or heel bullets for best results.
