For anyone on the fence about getting one of the newly produced Ruger Old army replacement percussion cylinders by Krist ….
They are pricey compared to most other percussion revolver cylinders but I haven’t seen any other ROA cylinders for sale in years.
I ordered the cylinder which showed up at my door the next day!
It came with a six ROA factory type nipples already installed.
As of now they only sell the replacement cylinder in Stainless, no blued or fluted.
It fit and worked perfectly in ROAs made in 1972, 1973, 1977, 2 1988s & a 1995 model.
The finish is a bit rough but I’m betting I could shine it up.
I do like that it is a smooth cylinder & has no black powder warnings.
The original cylinder is on the left, new Krist cylinder is in the right. I hope they make a fluted version in the future.
I’m hoping to get out and do some blasting as soon as it warms up a bit.
I’ll check back in and let y’all know how it went.
