I bought a Uberti 44-40 recently and I had seen some on GB that had a 44spl cylinder that came with them.I got a very good deal on this gun but no extra cylinder.A local gunsmith is now machining one for me at a cost of $300.My question is was this too much to pay?It is a custom fit to this gun and will allow me to use either 44spl or 44-40 by simply changing out the cylinder.By the way the barrel slugged at .429 so the issue of bullet diameter is mute.Thanks Russ
