I bought this Armi San Marco 1860 Army .44 from a guy on another board. The date code is [BC] (1993) and it is in very nice shape for a 25-year-old gun. I am a fancier of Pietta 1851 Navy .36 revolvers and this is my first foray into the 1860 Army .44 revolvers.
I would eventually like to obtain a full-fluted cylinder and maybe a half-fluted cylinder for it. I know ASM has been out of business for quite a while and ASM parts are scarce as hens' teeth.
I do not have a dial caliper to measure the length of my cylinder, and I am wondering if any of you very knowledgeable folks would know if either a Uberti or Pietta cylinder would work with this pistol.
I know on the replica 1851 Navy .36 guns that the Uberti and Pietta cylinders are of slightly different lengths and that the bolt stop slots (between the two) are not in the same place.
Any information about this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Jim
