Yes, the .32 H&R cylinder did require the Chamber area to be shortened to match the rear of Ratchet to Front of Chamber measurement of the .22MAG cylinder.
No, I did NOT attempt to fire the .32 Colt Long cylinder before having the Barrel and Forcing Cone set back. The Gap was visually Excessive.
The Frame and Barrel of the .32H&R Ruger single Six by Machining a Completely custom Cylinder from Raw 4140 Alloy Steel Heat treated to at least Rc20 before Machining. My guess is this would require some custom Carbide tooling and a CNC Machining Center along with the Machining program/software to get repeatable results. Alternatively, a Very Good Journeyman Machinist and Job Shop with Suitable Financial incentives.
