I really disliked the look of the Ti cyl with its funny shaped flutes. And especially the manual warning about not disturbing the finish when cleaning for fear of weakening its strength!

OK Hondo - I'm on a mission now with this thing. Can you tell me where you found a 696 cylinder only? It appears that you replaced the thumb latch too. My idea is to find the cylinder (pray for drop in also) and "mirror" polish it, the latch, ejector rod, trigger (MIM-iffy) and raised S&W on the combat stock logo's.
I wish they had designed the snag-less Hammer on the hump, per. 38/49 but alas - if wishes and dreams....
Any ideas would be appreciated as always from you.
Maybe I should start a new thread for this?
Insomnia & good wiskey sure is expensive!
