It didn't take a lot of fitting, the 22mag cylinder was just slightly longer than the existing 22LR cylinder, I had to take about .0005" - .001" off the gas ring. The important thing is to find one with the same overall length as the existing cylinder. The barrel-cylinder gap came out to app .005" and end shake is virtually nonexistent. I got a chance to shoot it today and I am very pleased. I didn't really shoot for groups because it is very windy today, but first impression is accuracy is better than with 22LR and I was surprised that it shoots to POA. You can defiantly tell the difference between the 22LR and the 22mags:D

Well I had help from a fine person on another forum. I am sort of an armature smith and have been tinkering with different firearms for a long time, mostly Ruger and older colts. Also it helps that the cylinder was real close to begin with.
