Cylinder Stop — S&W K/L/N Frame Revolver

Cylinder Stop — S&W K/L/N Frame Revolver

A replacement cylinder stop for S&W K, L, and N frame revolvers. The cylinder stop is the small part that rises into the notches on the cylinder to lock each chamber in line with the barrel. After a high round count, or on a well-used revolver, a worn cylinder stop can let the cylinder lock up loose or fail to catch cleanly. A fresh stop restores tight, positive lockup so every chamber indexes where it should.

Why it matters: the most common problem from a worn cylinder stop is the revolver skipping chambers entirely. The cylinder rotates past where it should lock and indexes on the next notch instead, so a chamber gets skipped on the way around. Even short of a full skip, a stop that does not catch on time means the cylinder is loose or slightly out of line with the barrel, which hurts accuracy. A crisp, properly fitted cylinder stop is one of the parts that keeps the gun shooting where you aim and cycling the way it should.

Who it is for: anyone refreshing a worn S&W action, building up a project gun, or chasing down a cylinder that has started to lock up sloppy or skip.

Key Features

• Restores tight, positive cylinder lockup

• A part best fit by a gunsmith or an experienced home builder

Installation note: cylinder stops often need a little hand fitting for correct lockup and timing, so this is a job for a gunsmith or someone comfortable inside an S&W action.
