Function
The frame lug (barrel underlug) is the metal projection beneath the barrel that houses and protects the ejector rod. It provides a channel for the ejector rod to travel when extracting cases, protects the rod from damage, and adds structural rigidity to the barrel assembly. Proper alignment with both the barrel and frame is critical for reliable ejector rod function.
Compatibility
Designed for S&W K Frame M&P Victory Model, Pre-Model 10, and K-38 revolvers chambered in .38 Special. May also fit other K Frame .38 models from the same era — contact us to verify compatibility for your specific revolver.
About These Historic Revolvers
The S&W Victory Model was produced 1942–1945 for Allied military forces during WWII. The Pre-Model 10 refers to M&P revolvers produced before the model numbering system began in 1957. The K-38 was the target variant chambered in .38 Special. All share the same basic K Frame design with many interchangeable parts.
Installation
Professional gunsmith installation required. Requires barrel removal and precise fitting. The ejector rod must travel smoothly through the lug channel after installation. Factory OEM part manufactured to exact S&W specifications.
Identifying Your S&W Model
Swing out the cylinder and check behind the yoke on the frame for a model number. Model numbers began in 1957–58. If there is no model number, your revolver is a pre-1957 model. Contact us with your serial number for assistance: sales@usagunsandgear.com or 770-544-8075.
