How hard would it be to convert a paper cutter Sharps Cavalry Carbine to use cartridges? I have an IAB 1863.

if you had an origional or a Shiloh it wouldn't be difficult at all just find the parts the Gov used to do it after the war, CF Breechblock, hammer, relined barrel for cartridge and extractor cut in rec. . might be less expensive to find a CF conversion, I have one in 50/70 that is a great shooter
