Just based on my one experience they may be fitted to the gun. In either case they are fun shooters.
Thanks for your post, i will take some new measurements (BCG) with 9mm cylinder and see if i have the room to get a nice fit like you. (its been years since i shelved that project). Did you only need to remove from the front of cyl.? did you need to machine "lathe turn" the back of the cyl. as well? (i know we are only talking .005 to .008")
Thanks, Mike
