AS long as it is a steel frame and not brass
you should be good, need more details from
you about your smoke wagon.

1858 Rem. New Army Made in 1977, stainless steel, Sile Inc. NY. NY., DGG within a circle which either is Armi San Paulo or Euroarms. I have not been able to locate conversion cylinders for this, only Uberti and Pietta. Great riches, wealth and health will come your way if you can help (ok maybe a chain letter)..

PHYDOUGH when i got my 1st cnversion cylinder
it did not fit to good but with a little work to the
gun i had that smoke wagon sloging led down that
range
i have a asm and a peitta and a ubertie
the 45 fits both asm and peitta, and the conversion
does not fit the uberti the cylinder is a , yes a ubertti
go figger that but i will make it fit, what i am getting
at is you can make them fit with a little work and a
small amout of no how you can do it. i got this old
58 brass fame for 5 bucks wich i dont hold with but
a new task to work on, so all internall parts are from
a mix of everything and it shoots ok, its a bit sloppy
but it cost 5 bucks what the heck, so get a cylinder
and get to work, you dont have to shoot it to have
FUN.

Phydough,...I think that generally the Euroarms/Armi San Paolo (DGG) Remingtons will take an Uberti conversion cylinder. Here's an early engraved Armi San Paolo Rem that my brother owned and I was reassembling it (reason for missing grips) and was able to put in my Uberti '58 Rem R&D, ... it cycled nicely with no problem. He later used an Uberti R&D in it and it worked well.
What Long Rider says is right about being able to fit them if there happens to be a slight problem. Each gun varies slightly in size of parts & fit, but sometimes all that's necessary is a little stoning of the ratchets at the rear of the cyl., or on the end of the hand (pawl). I had one R&D rubbing slightly against the frame beneath the knurling of the outer edge of the backplate , so I just filed the frame slightly so the cyl. would pass freely.
