Fitting 22 LR Cylinder to S&W 351D

Discuss work on firearms; whether that is making yours from the ground up, milling an 80%, putting together a kit, or fine tuning a trigger job.

Hi,

Does anyone know if a 22 LR S&W cylinder is available which can be fitted to the S&W 351D.

Thanks,
Marty

You might check with Smith and Wesson about ordering a replacement cylinder assembly, and a full crane. I doubt they would install 'just' a cylinder for you. It would be a mis-match to the indicated caliber on the barrel shroud, and they'd probably tell you that accuracy would suffer (not that its' a target-gun, LOL). With a full assembly, you'd just have to remove the front retaining screw each time you wanted to swap the calibers.
