Smith & Wesson J Frame Model 49 Bodyguard Bolt Assembly — Used OEM Part 134
Smith & Wesson J Frame Model 49 Bodyguard Bolt Assembly — Used OEM Part
Genuine Smith & Wesson OEM bolt assembly for the J Frame Model 49 Bodyguard revolver. The bolt (also called the cylinder stop or cylinder latch) is the spring-loaded component that rises to engage the notches machined into the cylinder, locking it in precise alignment with the barrel at each chamber position. A worn, chipped, or broken bolt causes the cylinder to fail to lock up properly, resulting in misalignment between the chamber and barrel — a safety-critical condition that prevents the revolver from functioning reliably. This used OEM part is inspected and functional, manufactured to original S&W specifications and tolerances.
Condition: Used — inspected and functional. Some fitting by a qualified gunsmith may be necessary.

Finding Your Model Number
Swing out the cylinder and look behind the yoke on the frame. Model numbers were added starting in 1957–58. If your revolver has no model number stamped, it may be a pre-model variant — verify compatibility before ordering.
