I have a Smith model 53 with interchangeable cylinders. One is for regular .22 rimfire and the other is for the .22 Remington Jet. I have inserts for the Remington Jet cylinder but am finding I shoot mostly rimfire so I want to change to the rimfire cylinder. The gun came with the rimfire cylinder serial number matching to the gun and a small aluminum handled screwdriver. The replacement cylinder has the ejector rod attached but no crane. Does anyone on this forum know how to swap cylinders ? Does the sideplate have to come off ?
Thanks,
