Uberti Remington 1858 extra cylinders

[laufer]

I can not find them anywhere- Taylors has them listed, but after four months waiting and being told to wait some more, I canceled the order.
Anybody know where to find the standard .44cal cylinder for Uberti Rem 1858?

Did you try MidwayUSA?

Dixie Gunworks lists a # CY 0505 replacement cylinder for the .44 caliber Remington New Model Army.

It is probably not made by Uberti and it may or may not be a direct drop in replacement.

You might call Dixie at 1-731-885-0700 and ask them about using it in your Uberti. I'm sure they will know the answers to your questions.

How about VTI gun parts. They show spares for the Uberti models.

 

[Zonie]

I looked in the VTI site and all I saw was cartridge conversions. Maybe I didn't look in the right place?

Knowing Dixie Gunworks, I'm sure they have provided a number of extra cylinders for both Colts and Remingtons. If there was a problem with these parts fitting I'm also sure they have heard from the unhappy buyers. That's why I suggested contacting them.

FWIW I bought a cylinder for my Uberti '58 Remmy from one of the well known retailers, either DGW or VTI or...

It didn't work at all. Wouldn't fit, let alone tune. I sent it back (and whichever co. it was took it back with no problem).

Don't know why, but the cylinders I bought for my Pietta fit and worked just fine. Once I even used one from another Pietta '58 Rem and it also worked without shaving lead or bad timing! :idunno:

Old and New (2007+) Uberti 1858s are supposed to be able to use original Remington cylinders. If Dixie doesn't have them, maybe they have some originals?

How about S&S and Lodgewood? Did you try them?

 

[Poor Private]

Or you can try a couple of civil war sutlers, such as Blockade Runner, or Falls Creek. I bought one from Blockade Runner a couple of years ago. And I bought one from VTI. The one from VTI was a replacement for my Uberti Mellinium Remington that I bought in 2000. Also try the Regimental Quartermaster.

Zonie,

This is what I was looking at. I did some checking on the internet and found some other forum threads on the same subject of finding cylinders. Seems the only games were Taylor, VTI and Dixie. Dixie's price is the best of the lot.

Thought of another source for Uberti parts. Cimarron Firearms, they are an importer, they sell Uberti's under their name, but it is the same pistol.

dixie does not have them, i have tried them first, neither does midway usa.
taylor puts you on the list, from what lady over there told me, uberti is a full year behind on cylinder orders and will try to catch up soon, when ever that soon is in italy.
will try vti.
thank you all!

I wonder how close they are to a Pietta 58?
Might want to try one of your friends cylinders from a Pietta and see what happens?
I'd sure give it a look see if it were me!

The notion that a cylinder cannot be altered to fit from factory spec is nonsense. It can be and is done by people who know how with complete safety.
Course it will make a factory trained mechanic apoplectic but that is just because they are generally only trained to do things the factory authorized way.
Here are a few ways a cylinder can be altered to fit a frame that it would not initially.
They can be shortened, base pin hole bushed and reamed to fit original base pin , a bushing fit to correct end shake, ratchets peaned and recut, ratchet bushing installed and recut , bolt notches widened and offset and a new over size bolt fit to correct out of alignment and the list goes on.
A barrel can be set back a thread or two and re-qualified to work with a short cylinder.
Hands can be stretched for more length, welded or shimmed for more width, triggers can be forged or made from scratch for a paddle profile preferred by target shooters.
Sear lifts can be in stalled to safely shorten sear/trigger engagement and a whole lot more possible to make a run of the mill factory gun that sort of shoots into a real race horse.

Wish I knew what I did with that extra .44 cylinder. :idunno:

 

[garra]

You may want to check Cimarron again. it let me add the item to my cart, and go to check out. It was $92.00 for a blued one.

My experience is they do not fit one another at all. I've got both Pietta and Uberti and there's no swapping cylinders.

 

[M. De Land]

I was thinking it may be close enough to be altered to fit if a factory replacement cannot be had.

Howdy!
Here's VTI; part #5:
