I believe this is correct. And Kirst has a marketing arrangement with VTI Gun Parts, so there's another point of contact.

Uberti ( http://www.uberti.com/firearms/army-...d-open-top.php ) lists the 1860 Army conversion in both .38 Special (which would have begun life as a .36 caliber can-n-ball) and .45 Colt (which began as a .44 caliber cap-n-ball). I seriously doubt they use two different frame sizes for the same model, so it might be worth a call to VTI (the U.S. distributor for Uberti parts) to ask if the .38 Special cylinder has the enlarged front section.
