Yeah, I know they don't make one but it's my possible next project.
I am retired on SS but have recently come up with a couple hundred dollars to spare to augment this.
I am looking for a Pietta 1851 Navy .36 plain cylinder of recent manufacture to machine with 12 bolt stop slots. I have a neighbor who is a retired Boeing machinist with a full machine shop/3-phase power, and has done excellent work for me in the past. I do believe he has the tools to create 6 more stop slots with the approaches on that cylinder, but I have to procure one first.
I have put in feelers to VTI and Taylors about the availability this morning. EBay has nothing.
If anyone knows where I can find a Pietta .36 smooth cylinder or a smooth 12-stop cylinder (.36 cal) I am all eyes/ears.
Just looking for a cylinder (with safety pins removed) for this:

I prefer to keep my smooth cylinder for the L&R representation, as shown.
Thanks in advance!
