Smith & Wesson K Frame Model 66 Hammer Block Old Style .357 Magnum — Used OEM Part 66120B
Smith & Wesson K Frame Model 66 Hammer Block Old Style .357 Magnum — Used OEM Part
Genuine Smith & Wesson OEM hammer block for the K Frame Model 66 Combat Magnum revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. The Model 66 is the stainless steel version of the K Frame .357 Magnum line. The hammer block is a critical passive safety component that physically prevents the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed. Without a functioning hammer block, a dropped revolver or an impact to the hammer could cause an unintended discharge. This is the old-style hammer block, which fits Model 66 through 66-3. The old and new style hammer blocks are not interchangeable — verify your dash number before ordering. 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.
