Uberti 58 Army -inserting cylinder

Nothing. That is what's good by dealing w/them. They stand behind their products. And they know a lot about these! INCLUDING whoever answers phone If you decide to buy a gun w/conversion cylinder-Taylor will make sure it fits as long as you buy the gun from them. You pay a little more for Piettas than Cabela offers but the care service and quality they offer is worth it. They are our best dealer for Uberti/Pietta guns.

Riot, read my last post not just skim it. The bolt will be fully retracted, it cant mar the cylinder because it won't touch it.

Didn't skim it. The bolt is not fully retracted until you reach half cock. At least, it isn't on my guns. Trying to hold the hammer just short of half cock while simultaneously inserting the cylinder with the other hand and lining up a cylinder notch while you're doing it, is fine if you have good dexterity. But I don't. I guess some do it your way and some do it the Clint Eastwood way. I prefer the latter, 'cause I can't do it your way without marring the cylinder. :(
 
On the subject of Taylor's, I got my conversion from them and was really impressed with customer service. Also, the cylinder fits nice as well.

My Pietta does what op describes, where if i want to get the cylinder in at half cock i have to put it in from the right side and rotate it to push the hand back but I'm used to it now so it comes pretty natural.
