Description
- Additional information
This is the S&W J-Frame Cylinder Stop with .085″ to .089″ of material remaining on the ball, fitting all Smith & Wesson J-frame revolvers built from 1957 to 1988.
The cylinder stop sits in the frame below the cylinder and indexes it for each shot, so it is the part that determines whether the chamber lines up with the bore. The ball is the raised surface at the top that drops into the cylinder notch, and it is stock that gets fitted during installation rather than a finished dimension. The range given tells you how much material is left on it to work with.
Included: One cylinder stop from the group pictured.
Fits:
- All Smith & Wesson J-frame revolvers, 1957 to 1988
Fitting: This is a lockup and timing part, and the ball requires fitting, so it is work for a qualified gunsmith. Once fitted, cycle the action slowly in single and double action and confirm the cylinder locks into each notch before the hammer falls, with no rotational play at the moment of lockup. If the cylinder is still free to move when the hammer drops, stop and have it checked before firing.
Please note: Buyer is responsible for verifying correct fit for their specific firearm. Installation should be performed by a qualified gunsmith. Please review all photos, as they are part of the description and show the actual item you will receive.
Condition: Used, fitted. Most of the original blue remains on the sides, with wear to bright on the working surfaces — the top of the ball, the leading edge of the nose, and the bearing faces where it rides in the frame. No rust, no pitting. The pivot hole is clean and round with no elongation. The ball shows clear contact wear but no chipping, the nose is unbroken, and the part is straight with no bend.
