Barrel interchangeability between frame size.

[willy]

Does each Smith and Wesson revolver frame size k,,L.N use different size barrel threads?
Would a L frame fit on a k or a N frame gun?

They are different.

 

[Toolguy]

They all have a 36 thread pitch, but are different diameters.

I&J .500-36
K .540-36
L .562-36 one piece, 2 piece 44 mag .638-36
N .670-36

the very early 32-20 K frames like the model 1896 used the same barrel threads as the I and J frame. .500-36

I have a loose X frame barrel I will measure and post

Have you had a chance to measure the X frame barrel yet?
