Hello!
Can anyone ID this cylinder? It appears to be .38 caliber, although the .38 special is way too long, and feels a little sloppy. Here's some pics. Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to everyone!

  Hello!
  I have been searching for the make of this cylinder for quite awhile now with no luck. The only markings on the cylinder is a "U" and the number "8" on the front face. I don't even know if the cylinder bushing goes with it, but it seems to fit. The O.D. of the bushing is .3480", and the OAL is 1.8325". It is chambered for 6-.32/20 rounds. Here are some pics and measurements. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  The locking bolt stops between the chambers is a Colt trait, but I can't say it is actually a Colt or one of the many revolvers around the turn of the century that were chambered for the 32-20

  It's too short and big around to be a Police Positive Special.
  I no longer have an Army Special, but the extractor sure looks Colt
