needs your gun to fit it to. There are several points of tolerance to consider.

I have two .38-40's. (more that could be with an extra cylinder) Its a full custom Ruger on a lightweight OM .357 chassis and a Herter's .401 Powermag with incredibly an original .401 cylinder re-bored and fitted. Mike Orr sent the cylinder to me and I was blown away. He never told me where he found it but to think of me I'll never forget it.

The .38-40 can be hot rodded but it's best as intended, around 1000 fps, maybe a bit more, to 1200 if you really want.

A full custom can be done in steps. Purchase (a late .357 FT would be sweet), then 1/3 money down to begin. After a few months you only owe half or about the price of factory base gun. BUT it will be custom to your specification. No sahme in just getting a cylinder. Once you go custom it's hard to go back. Fair warning. lol
