I picked up a 4 inch 53 today. Nice shape.
I got an extra cylinder from GunBroker Maybe five or six months ago, and it fit my 6 inch 53 like a glove.
I guess I got lucky there because it does not fit my 4 inch, not that I expected it to.

As noted above, any model 53 .22 LR cylinder should ‘fit’; whether it functions is the question. Adjusting the ratchet teeth between cylinders is often necessary and requires a fair amount of skill.

The cylinder did fit with the crane from the 4”… not perfectly but pretty much.
Single action is good but double action is spotty on this one. Trigger won’t pull, but I have others.
I’ll see if I can go through some get better fitting mechanics.
