I have a 22 lr naa  can I get a 22 mag cylinder for it?

Kevin

If it has a .22 magnum frame you should be able to get a .22 magnum cylinder for it. If it is a .22LR-only frame, you won't be able to. I'd check the manual/packaging or suggest looking at their products page http://northamericanarms.com/firearms.html and then contact North American Arms if you can't determine which model you have.

depends which Mini frame you have. It will be stamped on the right side of the frame just behind the trigger.
A Long Rifle frame will not accept a magnum cylinder.
Of course the magnum frame will accept both Long Rifle and Magnum cylinders, along with the Pug, Blackwidow, MiniMaster and the Earl.
The magnum cylinder cannot be ordered online due to cylinder timing issues. So if you have an appropriate frame for a magnum cylinder you will need to call North American Arms. The pistol will need to be sent to the factory for proper fitting (timing) of the conversion cylinder.
Hope that helped.

So much for me adding anything insightful. Seems the first 2 folks covered the question nicely. While on the surface, it may seem Kevin has breathed in a little too much gunpowder fumes, NAA has made magnum framed guns with LR only cylinders. I think the Black Widow and Mini Master are on the list, but I may not be as "right" as I need to be (I am never wrong! :()

About all I can add is, WELCOME!

I know you are right on the Mini Master at least.
I have a Mini Master stamped 22 Long Rifle but it has a magnum frame. Now it has a 22 Magnum cylinder also.

Thanks.  I'll have to check.  I want a magnum cylinder if it will handle it

The inside length of the LR frame is about 1 1/8 inch, while the Mag frame is about 1 3/8 inch.
