Generally speaking, cylinders need to be fitted to the gun. You may get lucky, and find one that drops right into an existing gun, but if you do, it is just a coincidence. That is why Ruger does not sell cylinders, they want to make sure it fits the gun.
Because of manufacturing tolderances, not all guns are the same. One gun may have the barrel screwed slightly farther into the frame than another. When a cylinder is fitted to a gun at the factory, the length of the cylinder may need to be trimmed to allow the proper amount of barrel/cylinder gap. Then, generally the hand is fitted to the cylinder. This means a slightly long hammer may be trimmed slightly to length to fit the existing cylinder. But if a second cylinder is aquired, it may or may not fit the existing 'window' in the frame. If the existing cylinder was trimmed to length, the new one may be too short or too long. If too short, the entire barrel may need to be turned in one thread and then both cylinders and the barrel may need trimming to fit into the space with the proper gap. Then there is the question of the hand. The original one may or may not fit the new cylinder. If not, one cylinder may need to have the ratchet teeth at the rear adjusted slightly to match the other cylinder, so that a common hand can be fitted. It can get very complicated. That's why Ruger does not sell cylinders. This is not stuff for the average kitchen table gunsmith to be messing with.
Again, you may get lucky, and another cylinder may drop right in, but there is a very good chance it won't.
