Can a black powder replica be modified to shoot regular cartridges?
Possibly. There were several conversions for the original "ball & cap" revolvers, that changed them from "ball and cap" to metallic cartridge revolvers. HOWEVER- even when changed to fire a metallic cartridge, many are still a BLACK POWDER firearm- and will not safely fire modern high pressure SMOKELESS powder cartridges. I might find a conversion cylinder for a Colt Navy .36 caliber revolver, but the brass frame is just not going to be up to firing .357 magnum ammo.
Can a felon use a 1860 army ball and cap revolver?

This was in spite of the BATF's opinion that the replica wasn't a "firearm" that the defandant would be prohibited from possessing.
