Found One !!! This add can be closed.

The 1st Allen Conversion Model 1865. Caliber .58 (not .50 or .515 groove). Just like the CW caliber. Same barrel actually.
Some were later relined to .50-70 for various reasons. The barrel caliber is the key element.
Thank you

You want the 58 rimfire conversion? Might have a line on one but from the verbal description I got, it may have been shortened at the muzzle.

Shortened is no real issue as long as it was not cut back a large ways. Couple of inches is OK... Not looking for a carbine.
The 1865 1st Allen was made as a rim fire. If it was "converted" to center fire that would be a plus.
Thank you
