Can a .357 maximum cylinder be fit to a OM Super Blackhawk?

Don't know for sure, but can't see why not.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the Maximum cylinders & frames are longer.

I know they have to be cut down. The longer cylinder is the only reason to do this and the Max cylinders are considerably more spendy than a standard length one... I guess I didn't ask the right question....happens all the time here at home.....  Will the teeth on the ratchet work, diameter of the base pin right for a large frame OM gun....? Specifically, an OM flattop .44 magnum. That's probably not the right terminology but that's really the question. I'll call and harass one of my buddies... |

Since we are talking a cylinder made for non recessed case heads going into a gun set up for recessed case heads I would think the difference would be in the depth or length of the ratchet. Just to check I pulled a rebored Max cylinder out of a Gallagher 44 and compared it to a factory 44 flat top cylinder. The rebored max cylinder ratchet DOES stick up higher or taller but in looking at it I see no reason why it could not be shortened to old model specs and the ratchet teeth be recut.
