S&W Cylinder Replacement
tguil:
Really two questions:
First, I need to replace the cylinder of my S&W Model 36. Don't want to try to match the blue. Frame is in excellent condition. I plan to have a stainless Model 60 cylinder installed. How is the quality of used parts from Numrich?
Second, is there a gunsmith in the Lincoln area who works on S&W's?
bullit:
Mike Schlereth....402-488-1551.
C&S in Fremont also works on revolvers.
SBarry:
Dave Krecklow in Yutan also is very good with S&W Revolvers.

You are not trying to make this into a magnum right? You just want stainless? Just being safe. Try using the original ratchet and ejector rod assembly, often like cylinders are a direct swap. Get feeler guages to check headspace and barrel cylinder gap.
tguil:
No magnum. Just want to be able to use my Model 36 again. Stainless because I'm quite sure I'll not be able to find a really nice blued cylinder. I bought the gun in 1984. Most of the time it has been in my desk drawer. Got it out to use as a backup up for my Ruger Speed Six when I was taking the CCW class. Was doing a little practice at home before taking the class and accidentally loaded it with factory +p rounds. One pull of the trigger and I "ruined" a darn nice gun. S&W doesn't have the "old" cylinders any more and will not do the repair. I figure I can get a used Model 60 stainless cylinder, polish it up and have a pretty nice S&W "pinto".
Now about the quality of the Numrich parts? Are they guaranteed?
