.22 LR CYCLINDER FOR THE .22 MAG

[rlr4x4]

ANY ONE HAVE AN EXTRA .22LR CYCLINDER THAT FITS THE .22 MAG FRAME FOR SALE

I am under the impression that cylinders must be "timed".  Although members have managed to not do it NAA states slight tweaking to make a particular cylinder work in a particular frame is not uncommon.  Failure to have a cylinder properly timed to the gun could result in catastrophic failure and injury.

Loohman brings up an interesting point.  I have interchanged the cylinders in the three NAA guns I have.  All have fitted perfectly. I even had a gunsmith friend of mine check them out.  He said the timing was fine.  

   I am certain many have tried this which brings me to the question.

   Has anyone found a cylinder that did not fit properly  with another NAA?   I think the Fitting at the is a "cover your a.." rule made by NAA.  It is certain NAA makes more money having you send to have a new cylinder fitted than they do on the difference between a convertible purchased that way.

yes I have a mini mag 1 1/8 and a BW they are both convertables and have two cylinders. The thing is that one is fluited and one is not. They do not work only the gun they go with work with thim I was bumbed oh well i will keep them both

It needs to be timed, or at least have timing checked by a gunsmith that has lots of experience with revolvers. I would guess most are very close, but I personally am not dumb enough to try it!

I had the same question on switching cylinders on the B.W. and the pug. One was fluted and the other one was not. Didn't make any difference in mine, they both fit each other fine.  

   

   Chopprs posted on this debate, and his suggestion was to get a wood dial rod the size of the barrel and see if it will go all the way done the barrel and cylinder without hitting the side of your cylinder. If it does, your cylinder should be OK without sending it in to be timed.  

   

   Worked for me.
