Smith & Wesson Model 51 Side Plate Screws (Set of 3) – Part# 51147
This is a genuine factory Smith & Wesson side plate screw set for the J Frame Model 51 revolver chambered in .22 Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR). An old-style used blue steel set of 3 screws in serviceable condition — a cost-effective solution for replacing stripped, damaged, or missing side plate screws on your Model 51.
The side plate screws secure the side plate to the frame, keeping the internal lock work covered and properly retained. Stripped or missing screws can allow the side plate to shift or come loose, exposing the action to debris and compromising internal component retention.

Note: The Model 51 is chambered in .22 Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR) — not .22 LR. These screws are blue steel finish — not compatible with stainless J Frame revolvers. Side plate screws are frame-specific and finish-specific. Always confirm your exact model and finish before ordering. Model numbers are stamped on the frame behind the yoke when the cylinder is swung out.
Installation
Side plate screw replacement is straightforward but care should be taken not to over-torque or strip the frame threads. Use the correct screwdriver bit to avoid damaging screw heads. If the frame threads are damaged, consult a qualified gunsmith before proceeding.
