Smith & Wesson L Frame Model 686 681 Cylinder Non-Fluted Stainless Factory New OEM - 412130000
Smith & Wesson L Frame Cylinder — Non-Fluted, Stainless, Factory New OEM
Part #412130000 | Factory New | L Frame | Model 686 / 681 | .357 Magnum | 6-Shot | Non-Fluted Stainless | OEM
Genuine factory new Smith & Wesson non-fluted stainless steel cylinder for L Frame revolvers. The non-fluted cylinder retains the full cylinder wall thickness where standard cylinders are machined with flutes — resulting in a stronger, more rigid cylinder body that is preferred by many for sustained high-volume .357 Magnum shooting. Non-fluted cylinders were offered by S&W on Performance Center models and select special production runs. This is a direct OEM factory replacement for Models 686 and 681.
