It should. I bought a new unfluted Ss cylinder from MidwayUSA & installed it on my 629-6. Later I used the fluted 629-6's Ss cylinder on my new 329PD.
A new cylinder typically comes with the extractor but I found it best to use only the new cylinder along with the original gun's cylinder extractor & related parts. Doing this keeps the gun in time (assuming it was originally) & saves filing/tuning the extractor's rachets.
Doing it this way the worse I've had to do was put a couple shims on the yoke's barrel to correct for excessive cylinder endshake, on the 629-6. On the 329PD nothing needed correcting. I reused all other hardware (yoke, extractor/rachet, extractor rod, extractor rod collar, extractor spring, center pin, center pin spring) from Ti cylinder on the fluted 629-6 cylinder.
The Ss cylinder is 3.65oz heavier than the Ti cylinder & you can scrub away on it all you like.
