Asm 31 6 shot baby dragoon cylinder

Can any other brand interchange cylinder with this model? i am doing a 32 sw conversion and want an extra in case I screw up. Thanks!

Ive had no luck finding one. I think the only ones made them is Uberti and ASM. The 6 round is a rare model. Most all the 31 caliber pocket revolvers are 5 rounds.

Darn. Thanks

I just bought a 6 round gun on the classifieds here, arrived this evening. Annoyingly the action locked up on it as I did some test cycles, I think the internals are going to need some work.

Since I also have a 5 shot ASM, I thought I'd do some quick comparisons to the two cylinders to see how close they are.

Here are the raw measurements:

And here are some quick drawings using the average measurements:




There is a center-line deviation of 2.5 thousands between the two. I'm thinking that isn't nearly enough to matter, and is probably within the margin of error when measuring some old cylinders, one more beat up than the other.

Also, when I installed the 6 shot cylinder on the 5 shot gun, the timing and indexing was perfect. So that's cool, no need for a different hand, everything just works.


I don't know if this info is helpful to you or not, but if you can get someone to measure a Uberti cylinder, you'd be able to see how close they are. At the very least, if you really mess things up, you might be able to find a 5 shot ASM cylinder that would work.

Forgot to mention, the cylinders are the same length. Right around 1.456".

Also, that center line deviation should be cut in half if you want to measure the alignment of a single chamber, so the cylinders could be off from the bore by .00125". You're gonna have variations between different guns larger than that.

Took the gun with the 6 shot cylinder swapped onto it shooting this morning. Worked perfectly.
