Does anyone know where you might be able to get a cylinder for an original 1858 New Army? Just bought one for a shooter and would like some extra cylinders.

Get a Pietta cylinder from Marstar. The one I got dropped in with very little fitting. The timing and lockup on the Pietta cylinder was better than with the original. You may want to get a new cylinder pin from Dixie gun works as well.
On timing the only issue is that the hand (the part that fits in the hammer to rotate the cylinder may be too short.
If so you may need a new hand, (from Dixie as well). The cylinder has to lock just after the hammer cocks the gun.
A new hand may have to be shortened as the cylinder locking prior to the hammer cocking would not work
