Smith & Wesson Model 625 PC Mountain Gun Cylinder & Yoke 6-Shot .45 ACP – Part# 62576
This is a genuine factory Smith & Wesson cylinder and yoke (crane) assembly for the N Frame Model 625 Performance Center Mountain Gun chambered in .45 ACP. A used new-style stainless steel assembly in serviceable condition — a hard-to-find, high-value component for restoring or rebuilding your Model 625 PC Mountain Gun.
This listing includes the complete cylinder and yoke as an assembled unit. The yoke (also called the crane) is the hinged arm that connects the cylinder to the frame and allows it to swing out for loading and unloading. Purchasing the cylinder and yoke together ensures proper fit and timing between these two matched components.

Note: Cylinders are caliber-specific — this .45 ACP cylinder (1.42" length) is not interchangeable with .45 Colt cylinders (1.57" length) or any other caliber. The .45 ACP cylinder uses moon clips for headspacing; the .45 Colt does not. Always verify your revolver's exact chambering before ordering. Model numbers are stamped on the frame behind the yoke when the cylinder is swung out. Contact us with your serial number if you need help confirming your model's chambering.
Installation
Cylinder and yoke assembly replacement is a significant armorer-level task requiring proper fitting, endshake and side play checks, cylinder timing verification, and cylinder gap measurement. We strongly recommend installation by a qualified gunsmith to ensure safe, reliable function before returning the firearm to service.
