Installation
A replacement cylinder must be checked for headspace, endshake, chamber alignment, timing, carry-up and barrel-cylinder gap. Installation and final safety inspection must be completed by a qualified gunsmith. Used parts may show normal finish wear and handling marks; the photographed item represents the part and condition offered.
