I did not even think about it. A friend suggested the same thing, but not until after I ordered one. Live and learn I suppose. But at the same time, everything I saw said to have a "competent smith" install the part. He said he sent an old Ruger in and they repaired it free of charge and even paid shipping and FFL fees. Took 4 weeks, but still.needsmostuff said:Did you contact S&W ? That's a very common part used for many years and they may just send you one.
Worth the price of a phone call.

In any case, your replacement is quite likely to need no fitting at all. If it does, it shouldn't be too much trouble.

Easy to replace... usually not much fitting req’d but will affect cylinder release if not right.
was21 is correct. It is a stud with screw cap. I think it was starting to break while I was at the range. The more rounds I fired, the harder it was to push forward and harder to open the cylinder.pneuby said:was21 said:That’s a threaded stud on the bar that a cap screw thhreads on to...snapped off.

OMG, I can't believe I missed that one. You're right. The last one I had apart was a pre-war K-frame that did it old-school. Still stuck in my brain..![]()
