1860 Army Replacement Cylinder

[SurplusArms2]

I am hoping someone can help me find a source for a replacement cylinder for a Lyman 1860 Army .44 cylinder (Lyman part #6994019)? Are any other Italian makers like Pietta or Uberti cylinders interchangeable?

Thanks for the help!

Surplusarms2: To my knowlege, Uberti cylinders should fit. Though the notches for the locking bolt may not be dimensioned the same....Uberti bolt notches may be a bit wider(Don't have an ASP in hand to compare...so unable to measure & verify). An Uberti bolt may work.. though requiring some fitting. You might also have to replace the hand. Taylor's & Company may be a good source for a Uberti cylinder. Contact Taylor's first, before ordering...to verify parts compatibility. Also: VTI Gun Parts (Uberti), may be an alternate source.

Hope this helps.

ps: Did a little digging and the 'Euroarms of America' site popped up. May be another source.

Look for Uberti's or other proof marks.

SurplusArms2: You may already know this, but for those who might not: The Lyman 'Army and Navy' 1860 revolvers were manufactured by Armi San Paolo(Later Euroarms), and should feature the manufacturer's mark: " D...G...G"....usually inside a circle. May also be the same letters(standing alone) formed into a triangle. Along with the usual Italian Proof House markings and date code. Uberti features the letter 'U'...inside the stylized muzzle end of an octagonal barrel.

May be useful in narrowing your search.
