I ran in to this sight recently. Just in case someone is looking. Seems like a very reasonable deal. http://www.rugercyl.com/

Yes it does. So is there any downside to the 10 shot .22 or the 8 shot .22 Mag. over the regular capacity cylinders?

I can't think of any. Apparently they are all drop in from what I understand.

...if he wants to make some more money, make some drop-in .22 Magnum cylinders for Bearcats...

There's nothing you can do on the old models. Frame and cylinder is too short. On the new models just ream the cylinders. Simple enough.

Got one of the 8 shot mag cylinder for a Single Six, it dropped in and works perfectly

For New Models only.
As I have an Old Model, they are not useful for me.
Have fun with your New Models, though.

Check with them. I believe the cylinders can be intermingled.

The Ruger.net forum says that there is a difference due to the design of the OM allowing the hammer to be lowered between the chambers. Ruger forum postAs for sending it in to Ruger to replace the missing the cylinder best to call and ask and see if that's even an option. You have an old model and the OMs had the firing pin groove in the cylinder that the New Models lack. I suspect they won't fit a NM cylinder to an OM since the groove was considered part of the sequence of operation that allowed you to lower the hammer between chambers and protrude the firing pin into the groove.
The good news is the OM magnum cylinders are relatively easy to find on eBay, Gunbroker, etc. and at reasonable prices. The OM LR cylinders are a bit harder to find. Odds are pretty good you can find one and it will drop right in and time up fine but it would be a good idea to verify before firing. As an aside, my most recent check on Ebay & Gunbroker found far more OM .22LR cylinders than OM .22mag ones.

Just got off the phone with Ruger Cylinders. Maybe answer a couple of questions for you. First I asked him about a 22 mag cylinder for the Ruger Wrangler. He said they have an article about the Wrangler that it's not designed to take the pressure of the 22 mag. As a result Ruger has some how changed the design where the Single Six cylinders don't work in the wrangler. I've tried both of mine and he's right, you can cock it a couple of times then it locks up. He said if you did it, it would stretch the frame. Disappointing to hear that but I'm sure Ruger built the Wrangler to the market and we all know that the vast majority even in the Single Six are shot in 22 LR.
Secondly I asked him about center fire cylinders like 45 ACP. He said that they can make those but the demand for the 44-40 has been so intense it's hard for them to add other cylinders. That did surprise me. We didn't talk about it but I know you have to neck up the brass for the 429 bullet vs the 427 bullet in the 44-40 to get the accuracy you might want. Guy I talked to seems to think it's the CAS pushing that demand. Anyway, if you've had those questions, now you know.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

The New Models came out in '73, you can look up your serial # on Ruger's website, they'll tell you what year it was made, but the stainless models didn't come out until '75 or '76, thereabouts. The New Models have the transfer bar safety feature, which you can see if you cock your hammer and look in the slot.
