Smith & Wesson Model 63 J Frame Rebound Slide & Spring .22 LR, Part# 63143
Smith & Wesson Model 63 Rebound Slide & Spring – Part# 63143
This is a genuine factory Smith & Wesson rebound slide and spring for the J Frame Model 63 revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle. An old-style used part in serviceable condition — a cost-effective solution for restoring proper trigger return function on your Model 63.
The rebound slide is the component that returns the trigger forward to its rest position after each shot in double-action fire. The rebound spring provides the tension that drives this reset. A worn or broken rebound slide or fatigued spring results in a trigger that fails to reset, drags, or returns sluggishly — directly impacting double-action reliability and follow-up shot speed.

Note: Rebound slides and springs are frame-specific and not interchangeable between J, K, L, or N Frame revolvers. Parts may also vary between rimfire and centerfire J Frame configurations and between old-style and current-production revolvers. Always confirm your exact model before ordering. Model numbers are stamped on the frame behind the yoke when the cylinder is swung out. Pre-1957 revolvers may not have a model number — contact us with your serial number for assistance.
Installation
Rebound slide and spring replacement requires side plate removal and disassembly of the trigger group. We recommend installation by a qualified gunsmith to ensure correct trigger return tension and reliable double-action function.
