Anyone happen to know the exact length of the cylinder on a mod 610?

I'm lookin to do a conversion to 38/40.

Somewhere around here I've got a Ruger with both 10mm. and 38/40 cylinders. Good fun.

TKM, that's the idea behind my question. I've got the Ruger and had the barrel cut to 4 5/8". I've also got a couple of Colt SAA's in 38/40. Great caliber. I need a DA to complete the set and rechambering a 610 seemed like the easiest way to go.
My Ruger cylinder mic's at 1.675. Dfletchers 610 mics at 1.575 and that is the exact length of WW factory loads. My handloads mic at 1.580. It's gettin close.lol
I have a Smith 544 in 44/40. Thought about calling the factory and seein if they'd chamber another cylinder in 38/40.
Always want what are not made at the time.LOL
Any other suggestions are always welcome.
