I have a 1955 S&W 38/44 that needs a new cylinder stop. The original sheared into two pieces. I have two candidate replacements from Numrich; a used Model 27 and a new MIM Model 27. The gun is disassembled. I plan to file/polish a replacement to match dimensions of the factory original. (I bought two because I figured I would screw up one!) I am not a gunsmith. I have files, emery boards, and a micrometer. Any advice from those who have walked this path before, other than perhaps “go slow “?
