Smith & Wesson K Frame Model 66 Cylinder Stop & Spring Old Style Used .357 Magnum
This listing is for the Smith & Wesson K Frame Model 66 Cylinder Stop & Spring, Old Style (Used OEM Part 6681A) only.
Used OEM Smith & Wesson Cylinder Stop & Spring assembly pulled from a K Frame Model 66 .357 Magnum revolver. This is the pre-MIM old style cylinder stop, compatible with Model 66 variants 66-3 and earlier. The cylinder stop is a critical lockwork component that aligns the cylinder with the barrel at the moment of firing — a worn or broken stop results in misalignment and unreliable ignition.
