When I called they told me they would not sell me a nightguard cylinder, but would sell me a 686 cylinder to fit myself.

As I explained above I spoke to S&W this AM. They do not now, nor have they now had a NG cylinder in stock for a very very long time. They will never have them again. As I said above as well, they also gave me a few places to call. None of them have a NG cylinder either and said it is unlikely they ever will.
The NG cylinder is actually a 686 Plus cylinder that has been blackened. So that is the route I would have to go. S&W quoted me a 4 to 6 month turn around to do this. That is the current wait time for non-warranty work of this nature. And will cost around $400 for the parts, finishing and labor to fit it.
So really sucks for me. Had FedEx simply done thier job the cylinder would have been done today and I would have it back Friday or even tomorrow and would have been done with the project. I even have a set of Ahrends grips waiting to go on it. $%$$ #$%% &%$#$#$
