Default unfluted cylinder

Is there an unfluted cylinder available for a magnum length J-frame? (and would you have a part#)

YES there is. I have one in 357Magnum at the house.

I do not recall the part number off the top of my head. Not even sure if I still have the invoice for it or not.

What caliber are you looking for? That would alter the part number.

That would be a 942 :~)

It would be less expensive to buy a cylinder for a 940-2. It would be fluted not unfluted, but it would not need to be rechambered and cut for clips.

If you want a really really lightweight you can get a titanium cylinder for the 340/360 and have it rechambered. I had mine cut for 9x23. Now it shoots 9MM, 38 Super and 9x23 all out of one revolver. One of our other forum members did the same thing with his 360.

Thanks, some options to consider (especialy the 9x23/38 super/9mm)
Really would like unfluted though (so if you come across the invoice....)
Do you have a line on a 940 -2 cyl? (Brownells/Midway "out of stock)

The Model 60 Talo LDV Special had an unfluted .357 cylinder.

Matt is looking for an unfluted cylinder to fit his 642-1 frame. Does anyone know for sure whether or not this frame is magnum length?

Any help in tracking down such a cylinder would be appreciated. Caliber does not matter, as it will most likely get a moon clip conversion to 9mm.
