johnwill,

You can fire .32 mag and long's in the existing cylinder but they do move around a bit since the Nagant cartridge is larger. The long's will definitely bulge and sometimes split. Although I have and continue to shoot with the existing cylinder, it would be nice to have one that is made to handle that ammo without those issues.

There is a current thread over on Gunboards.com in the Nagant forum. Makarov.com is talking about providing cylinders that are reamed out to .32 H&R mag which will then also take .32 longs and shorts. They currently offer the 32. ACP cylinder as well for approx. $44 shipped.
