Can a brass frame revolver be converted to fire metallic cartridges?
[Edit]

Answer

Can it, yes. Should it be, no. If it is an antique, you would be destroying its collector value to get a "shooter" that would probably not be very good. If it is a modern reproduction, the BATF would be after you for manufacturing a firearm because as a percussion revolver it is not treated as a firearm, but once converted it is.
