This is the Smith & Wesson Cylinder Stop for K, L and N frame double-action revolvers of the older production, roughly 1954 to 1988.
The cylinder stop rises through the frame window into the notches on the cylinder, locking each chamber in line with the barrel as the hammer falls. It is also what leaves the turn line — the ring worn around the cylinder of nearly every revolver that has seen use. The same stop serves all three frame sizes; J frame revolvers use a different part.
These are previously fitted parts and measure approximately .100 to .103 inch across the stop. Measurements are given as a guide, not a specification. A gunsmith fitting one of these can reduce the width but cannot add to it, so if your gun needs a wider stop, see the unfitted ones listed separately.
Included: One of the cylinder stops pictured. Sold individually.
Fits:
- Smith & Wesson K frame revolvers, 1957 to 1988
- Smith & Wesson N frame revolvers, 1954 to 1988
- Smith & Wesson L frame revolvers, 1980 to 1988
Does not fit: J frame revolvers, which use a different cylinder stop.
Fitting: Smith & Wesson cylinder stops are fitted parts rather than drop-in replacements — expect a gunsmith to fit this one to your gun. A stop that is worn, short or incorrectly fitted shows up as a cylinder that fails to lock before the hammer falls, unlocks under recoil, or rises early and cuts a heavy drag mark. After fitting, check with the gun empty that the stop drops clear as the cylinder starts to turn and rises into the notch on every chamber, in both single and double action, slowly and at speed.
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 cylinder stops, originally blued, with bright silver steel showing in the areas that were previously fitted. The stop ledges are square and complete with no chipping, the bodies are true with no bends, and the pivot holes are open with no elongation.
