The few I've seen all had a flat spot on the side of the barrel where a bolster could be attached. Cast breech assemblies don't appear to have been made with that flat area.
Of course, if someone bought it dirt cheap, it would be in their best interest to lobby for approval.

"I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a hand on.
I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them."
- John Wayne in "The Shootist", 1976
