Kirst Uberti Cylinders fit the ASP/Euroarms '58 Rem, as does the original Uberti BP cylinders. Have only heard this account of the R&D not fitting.

Biermiester, I have a very old ASP Rem, and the sights will move but i had to carefully tap it with a hammer and a steel punch that I rounded off the sharp edges. My ASP now shoot on the X but the site is almost about on the right edge of the octagon barrel. Long as i hit what I'mm shootin' at I don't care...LoL!
Mine will take .457 balls but got in a little harder(those were swedged@.458-.459). The Chamber mouths are beveled alot more than the Euroarm, Uberti, and Piettas. I figure if I can get more lead in the chambers all the better. Bought a 2 cav Lee mold yesturday .457" for my 1858 Uberti and Colt Signature Dragoon. May make some today my guess is they will be closer to .4565"-.457". Will let ya know.
On the Uberti cylinder, the ASP or Uberti Feel the same ... great fit. The Uberti date Stamp is a BU I think that's 2004. You could order a cyl. pin from S&S Firearms(Euroarms).

Smokin_Gu,
       Thanks for the info. I finally used a steel punch and the sight moved just slightly. before I move it anymore I will have to take it out and shoot it. I may order the cylinder and base pin from S&S. I like how the ASP's feel, they just seem to fit me very well. I have a two cavity Lee molds in .454 and .380 dia. They sure make it easy to cast a quality round ball.

Good deal on the sight adjustment. I finally zeroed the ASP Rem at the range last time out. She was shooin' wat right, so tappin the front site way right brought impact way left to the "X". I got tired of usin' Kentucky Windage...even though I makin' tin cans dance. I do like the feel of the ASP and xlint balance, seems to make point and shoot a lil easier. As I see it the ASP/Euroarms Rems feel best tight chamber to barrel dimensions, the Uberti is next in size Well finnished/smooth action, then the Pietta is a lil bigger good chamber/barrel dimensions, after deburing the action very smooth, accurate . I like um all each offer their own best qualities.
I was shootin' .375" balls in my Pietta Paterson, but bought the Lee 2 cav .380" for my 1851 Navy Uberti...which had been sittin in the safe a spell. I had traded off my Paterson to a friend for Uberti 1858 Rem 2004. I just had to have one and couldn't twirl my Paterson. LoL!
Anyway was a good trade we both got what we wanted. Ya see I am a Remington man that has a few Colts. But like I always say you only really need one Remington...maybe one for each hand. But more is better too!
