.44-40 Cylinders.............

I just learned of this and know nothing about them, but thought maybe someone might like to pursue the site:

Bob, I've perused the site a few times before and have 3 candidates for a 44-40 cylinder, but have not committed myself yet. Bob! :wink:

The only trouble with that is 44 barrel is .429 and 44 40 cylinder throats are 427.
Went down that road before, accuracy suffers. ps

I bet that company would make the throats whatever you request. I was a little intrigued as well. Mr. Bob, it would make a great addition to your old model 44 Special.

I suspect he makes them for the .429 barrel that Ruger uses on their 44 spec/mag revolvers (and their 44-40s in the past).

Ruger under throated the cylinders on their 44-40s. I would just send those cylinders back to Ruger (or Hamilton Bowen on occasion) and they came back opened up to the correct size and accuracy was just dandy!

This shop was originally owned by Al Story. They're a very small shop, but does wonderful work. I've visited the shop a couple of times.
