SnW model 48 cylinder

[conway]

Looking for a 22LR cylinder for a SnW model 48 revolver. Thanks

Do not have one for you..But can suggest checking all the normal parts houses, Jack First, Lees in Texas, Gun Garage, Numerich, Popperts, Ebay, GB and so on..The search is half the fun as they say..

Also not sure if the SW cylinders are drop in and work, or if they may require fitting..

i dont know if they require fitting either. My 48 is a -3 , it came with both 22lr and 22mag cylinders

Both fitting (front to back) and timing (the hand rotates the cylinder to the correct position and the cylinder stop engages with cylinder in correct position) may be required.

If you buy a matched set new from the factory, this work has already been done.

If the cylinder is shorter than your original one then it is probably useless.
Measure old and new cylinders before you buy.

Did you happen to see a cylinder for a Dan Wesson 22 in 22 WRF?

The Model 48 is a .22 Magnum revolver as you know.
They did not make a 48 in .22LR.
You want a Model 17 cylinder for .22LR.
Here's a bare one on eBay, might be good for your first try at fitting and timing.
Swap your .22Mag ejector star parts into it and see how it works as a first try.

They made a 22lr conversion which included the cylinder and yoke according to the Standard Catalog of S&W.
