Looking for .44-40 cylinder

[Niederlander]

Hello!  I'm looking for a blue, 3rd generation .44-40 cylinder (SAA) and can't find one in any of the usual places.  Anyone have any ideas?  (Used is just fine.)

For a 3rd Gen Colt, there is a very good chance a Uberti 44-40 cylinder will work with minor fitting for head space and end shake.  Brownells has end shake bushings cheap.

PS:  Forgot, Pietta cylinders with the Colt style bushing are also a VERY close match.

I'm actually looking to put it in an Armi San Marco Hartford Model.  Would it work for that as well?  Most Colt parts seem to fit it.

Well ....... Why didn'tcha say so.  Yes.  Only for an ASM I'd be real quick to suggest Pietta.  I built two Frankenpistols out of odds and sods
for a friend (I had a friend once).  Actually a pair of Frankenpistols. 
ASM Frames and lock works (some re-fit Pietta parts)
Uberti Barrels and Ejector assemblies.
Pietta Cylinders
Uberti Gripframes (all brass)
Added Spring and Plunger Hand Springs
44-40
Aftermarket Main Springs.

Turned out really nice.  Strange but nice.  When asked what they were at a match, He always called em Frankenpistol.  Got looked at kinda funny.

"had" a friend?  Did he stop being your friend when you built the Frankenpistols? 

[Coffinmaker]

Not exactly.  He stopped being a friend when his Sweetie picked em up and beat him with em.  By about 2 seconds a stage.  Hims was
annoyed.

Do you know if the Pietta cylinders are beveled like the 1st generation Colts?
