Spare parts for Taurus LBRs are notoriously hard to source. A spare cylinder, being a controlled part, will not be trivial to find, and even then it may not be a "drop-in"; some gunsmithing may be required to get it to fit the gun-and this will definitely be true for the adapted revolver.

Personally, I'd steer clear.

PM inbound, Del
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
