Heritage Rough Rider 22LR cylinder question

22 plinker
Does anyone know if a 9 shot 22LR cylinder will work in a 6 shot 22LR revolver? I'd like to use the 9 shot if possible but I do not know if they are interchangeable. Seems logical that it would be.

I've been trying to find a 9 shot 22LR cylinder but they seem impossible to find.

There are plenty of 6 shot in both 22LR and 22 MAG.


Thanks

    There is likely to be a difference, in the length of the hand in the 6 shot revolver. As it has to index the cylinder 60 degrees.

    The hand for a 9 shot revolver, has to index the cylinder 40 degrees.

    I don't know for a fact? You might get the 9 shot cylinder in? But the hand might bind up on the cylinder ratchets. Because it's longer, being set up for the 6 shot cylinder.

    No.

    I can give you the long no or the short no, but it is still no.

    no not designed for nine shot, reason to buy another that is nine shot.

    I don't think this would work.

    I'd be concerned about damaging the hand and/or cylinder pawl when the action designed to force the cylinder to rotate 60 degrees gets locked by the stop at 40 degrees.

    9 shot heritage revolvers are readily available. If you want one, sell the gun you've got then buy a nine shot.

    One of the best shooting 22 relovers I ever had was a 9 shot H&R, the only issue was I had to pull the cylinder and use the pin to punch out the empties. I really liked my K-22 Classic S&W, a heavy 6 shooter.

    I think Ruger has a GP-100 in a 10 shot 22LR Stainless that would be worth looking at.

    I enjoy my model 53 S&W using the inserts for 22LR, PIA for entended shooting sessions - for that I load cast bullets in the 22 Jet cases. Full tilt Jet loads shame a 22 magnaum.

    I have High Standard HD Military 22LR from my uncle - also one of the best shooting 22's I ever had - doesn't do well with crappy bulk pack ammo like a wheel gun.

    I Have a Heritage RR.
    No it is designed for 6 shot and would NOT index a 9. IMMHO
    Sweet shooting revolver though.
    For more firepower I just use the .22 mag cyl

    Thanks all. I suspected the rotation timing would be different just as you confirmed.

    Looks like I need to get myself a new present for Christmas.[:D]
