Slip Hammer Yates 8456 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I am wanting to have a cylinder made in 44/40 and fitted to my model 29 Smith and Wesson. Is there any gunsmith out there that does this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I think your best bet would be to find a 357 or 41 mag cylinder from another 'N' frame Smith and have it reamed to 44wcf. Here's a 10mm Stainless. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/412310000 This one is for a Model 657 I believe, a 41 mag. https://cylinder-slide.com/Item/211610000 Here's a bargain, a Model 27 357 blued. https://www.ebay.com/c/2112700203 Obviously you would want to find out the OA length for compatibility.

largo casey #19191 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 You might check on GB for a 544.I wanted to put a 44 spec cyl on my 544 but never figured out which cyl. Largo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Look up Hamilton Bowen in E. TN. He either is listed in Alcoa, Louisville, or Maryville TN. I think he is listed as Bowen Classic Arms. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hamilton Bowen would be fantastic. I'd also trust that Oglesby Gun Works near Springfield IL could do this work. Pretty close by. (217) 487-7100 good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Is a gumsmith a private eye who works on his own guns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slip Hammer Yates 8456 Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 I just realized it was a gumsmith I was looking for. Thank you for all the suggestions. I had some work done a long time ago by Oglesby. I am nearSpringfield so I will call them. I did call Bowen Classic Arms but they don't do this work anymore.
