A conversion, yes. The barrel looks shorter too. The auction also mentions it is a converted 'Navy' Remington. I didn't see anything like that in the short time I looked.

Watching the movie made me wonder what happened to the guidon, the pistols/carbines, canteens, etc. Sitting Bull's people must have salvaged anything they could use. It's strange that more hasn't turned up over the years. Some is on display in various museums and collections, but the bulk of the equipment seems to have remained undiscovered...

There is no way I would ever hear about a member of this forum. I don't know any, and none live near me.
