Recently I had a new batch of parts come in. Included were a couple boxes of Colt and S&W. My question is how can one identify what model the cylinders fit? I've done a good bit of reading but haven't really seen anything that links particular measurements to a certain model.
If you'll post here with measurements of cylinder length and diameter, some of us can help out. Photos would also be very useful.
Thank you. I'll get some info together and get it posted.
I might be all wrong, but don't S&W cylinders rotate in the other direction than a Colt?
If that's true, it might simplify things a bit.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
EVERYONE!
