Conundrum.

[Plain Old Dave]

I have a NMSS and an OMSS. One has to go. NMSS has only the Mag cylinder, OMSS only has LR. Shot both today, and the one is about as accurate as the other. The OMSS is fairly rough and I finally found an OMSS Mag cylinder.

Floor's open.

Say goodbye to the new model. Only having a mag cylinder is a deal breaker.

Only having a mag cylinder is a deal breaker.

It has about gotten to the point with me that being a .22 caliber is a deal breaker with me as I don't like to have guns that I cannot either load ammo for or buy ammo for... i.e. 22 caliber.

The OMSS is s/n 20-96xxx. Should it have a Magnum cylinder?

Most likely it originally shipped with a mag cylinder. They do show up here on the forum for sale just verify the dimension you need for the cylinder length.

Just pulled the trigger on a very nice one I found on Armslist. $60 shipped.

Congrats on finding the Mag cyl for the old model...still selling the new model? I would keep em both...the LR cylander will be even easier and then you have one of each. COOLNESS

I used to be a hoarder but now I'm clairvoyant.

Cylinder showed up and fits perfectly. Gap and endshake are almost identical to the LR cylinder.
