Anyone have any ideas?
I understand that but this is something personal for meIf there is a .32 short conversion cylinder for the 1849, have a gunsmith ream out the cylinder with a .32 long reamer. (if he will)
The .32 long may have enough power to damage or destroy the cylinder and/or the frame and barrel in which case he would and should refuse. Just because you tell him you are going to use black powder doesn't mean you or someone else wouldn't fire smokeless powder in it.
Also I'm having trouble locating a member with a conversion cylinder they'd saleI understand that but this is something personal for me
The 1849 is no slouch, even during the Gen 1 days it had the step in the water table to bump it up to a .36 and then those were converted to fire .38 Rimfire.If there is a .32 short conversion cylinder for the 1849, have a gunsmith ream out the cylinder with a .32 long reamer. (if he will)

wetwhat Was the reason brotherEven Howell quit selling 32 S&W short cylinders for a reason. Call them. They called me and told me they wouldn't sell them any more.
The lady said that they did not believe that the Uberti 1849 was strong enough, if I remember right.wetwhat Was the reason brother
