My RSSMX is missing the magnum cylinder. Will the magnum cylinder for that era (1965) look the same as the LR cylinder. Here is what my LR cylinder looks like:
OM Single Six Cylinder Question
- Thread starter RoninPA
- Start date
My OM Single Six is from 1969 and the magnum cylinder looks the same as the LR cylinder. Just has larger chambers, obviously. If your looking to acquire a magnum cylinder you need to be aware that it possibly needs to fitted to the gun to ensure proper timing.
OP
I know it would have to be fitted. I had a RF.com member contact me with a magnum cylinder but it doesn't look the same (flat not "indented") as my LR cylinder, that is why I was asking.
The cylinder you show above is a 22 caliber (short,long,long rifle) as it has the firing pin groove going around the "back" (chamber to chamber) the 'Magnum' cylinders do NOT have this groove, yes, they LOOK the same from the side, flutes and all,BUT not in the rear, chamber area, as well as the chambering itself ,to the larger, longer , magnum...........what is the overall length you are looking for?? this helps us to find the 'right" ( or at least close enough to make it work), so you do NOT buy a 'pig in a poke....'
OP
Dan, thanks for the info, just wasn't sure, I guess that's why you're the guru. 
I'll be pulling the cylinder and measuring the OAL tonight when I get off work.

Danjet, That helps a lot. Now I know exactly what to look for. Thanks.
