Good luck. I wanted a K frame 32 and being cheap thought I would built one. Looked high and low for a cylinder. EBay, Gunbroker, etc for months with no luck. Finally ponied up $$ for a 16_4. Even K22 cylinders are very hard to find. If they are the same length one could be reamed to 32. Just what is the problem with your cylinder?

Someone put a hot load into it and cracked the cylinder in between two round holes in the cylinder.

You did mean .32 Magnum, not .22 Magnum? I think that means .327 Magnum in S&W terms.
S&W won't ship magnum cylinders. They don't want people to convert frames not strong enough for magnum rounds. Your best bet is to send it to Mr. Goodwrench for repairs and replacement.

Now, THAT must have been some seriously overpressure round!
Does the factory have any available for them to install?

Have you tried Gun Parts Corp. I have been finding some parts there and their web sight says right away if in stock . Some of the cylinders on eBay are actually from them if you look at the sellers name . Good luck!

One option I forgot is Bowen classic arms . If he's been converting 32 mags to 327 fed then he might have something . A few years back I needed a cylinder for a Blackhawk and he had one that I got reasonable , you never know ?

That must have been one heck of a hot load. I know of several that have had the 16-4 reamed out for .327 Magnum and have used it with velocities up over 1500 fps with 100 gr. Hornady's with no ill effects. Have you checked with S&W for a possible replacement?
