April 25, 2016 | Unfortunately our supply of cylinders is exhausted at the moment. We hope to have new parts available in the latter part of this year. The individual parts will be relisted for sale as they become available.
Some caliber conversions are not feasible without custom cylinders with small pilot holes. While Bowen Classic Arms Corp. is well known for big-bore caliber conversions, we also do a variety of useful small-bore conversions and must produce suitable cylinders for them.
These 6-shot parts are all beautifully machined to exacting standards and match factory working specifications as closely as possible. They have body sections long as possible to fill the cylinder windows and accommodate the longest possible overall cartridge length and recess the case heads. The single-action parts have undersize bolt notches for best bolt fit on line-bored guns so the bolt nose may have to be slightly relieved for reliable function.
The cylinders are produced in both 4140 Chromalloy and 17-4 stainless steel from pre-heat treated material for minimal distortion and stress in the finished part. Occasionally, we will have unfluted parts available. It is imperative that these be installed and tested by a competent, knowledgeable gunsmith.
