Cylinder dimensions

[Skeeter Lewis]

For a leather project, I'd like to know the dimensions of an 1858 .44 cylinder. I don't have a Remington myself.

Had one lay'n here, . . . a Kirst Konversion, . . and the calipers handy,....

Pietta cylinder    length   2.025 in.    Diameter 1.625 in.   

That may not be exact, . . Enuf for a machinist, . . but should do for leather work, . . .

Uberti cylinders are a just a little longer. I furget just how much bit it ain't very much.

Uberti cylinders are shorter...by about .020........not enough to matter

Found an article about the Remington Revolving Rifle with 2-3/16 cylinders and a 1 15/16 or 1.9375 cylinders.  Article state it was not known if pistol frames were modified to accept the stock or frames were made to fit the smaller cylinder.
