Sgt Duncan Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 That is a pretty rare cylinder to find an orphan and two makes twice as rare You might try here http://rugercyl.com/ruger-cylinders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacherman Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Don't waste your time there. I tried for almost 2 years to get a pair. When I did they didn't fit/work. They won't fit them. I gave up. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Cuff Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 J.C I was looking at buying some 44-40 cylinders a while back. Had no luck finding any used. I ran a cross a Co. named Borchardt Rifle Co. They show to make custom cyl in 44-40. They are not cheap $325/cyl. Never got around to buying any just bought a pair of 44-40 Vaqueros.

J.C. Smoke, SASS #22300 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 I got them at a gun show a few years back they were in bad shape rusty and all I cleaned them up , when i went to shoot them you couldn't eject the brass come to find out someone bored the cylinder straight thru . Lesson be ware of gun shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Dan Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The only thing rarer than a 44-40 vaquero is a pair of 44-40 cylinders to convert your 44 magnums to 44-40. Good luck. I spent several years trying to find a match for my 44-40 4.62 inch Vaquero. Finally just bought a 7.5 inch and swapped the barrel off a 4.62 44 magnum.
