856 cylinder on an 85?

I've heard the 856 is pretty much the exact same thing to the 85 just with one more round and the hammer of course so would it be possible to swap the 856 cylinder into an older 85 to increase the capacity? Or would it just not fit ?

The frame window on the 856 is slightly taller. They're not "just the same thing" with and extra hole in the cylinder.

Yea I was watching reviews on it because I want an 856 and the dude said they're about the same I wasn't to sure so had to ask thanks
How would a frame for a 5 shot be timed for a 6 shot?
