I've got a Uberti 1858 Remington revolving rifle coming and I'd like to be able to swap the cylinders with the pistol. ...I don't suppose Pietta cylinders fit Ubertis, do they?

Nope, different length.

It's not recommended. The brass is softer and you would probably see peening on the recoil shield. I suppose you could reload some very light BP loads and get away with it in the full Remington frame.
