You might get better results by posting your Want on the Want Ads forum, lower on the GB list. Also the cylinder and pin for the Hunter, the Trapper, the 1906 model are probably interchangeable.

Peedad,
Be advised that there are two "models" of the H&R Hunter. One is based upon the Model 1906 and will have a small frame and a 7 shot cylinder. The other is based upon the Model 922, will have a large frame and will have a 9 shot cylinder. The cylinders, obviously, and the cylinder pins are not interchangable. See link to pic below:

32Mag is right. If yours is is the 9 shot one the early 922 cyl & pin should fit. The later 922s have a very different alignment design. The later one has rectangular slots around the cylinder about 3/32 x 7/16" while the early one has sort of "bullet shaped" slots that are straight on one side about 3/16 x 3/8", deep at the straight side.

To ID whether yours is a 7 shot or 9 shot, maybe difficult without the cylinder, the 7 shot cylinder for the Hunter is one inch long. The 9 shot for the 922 is quite a bit longer.

We never knew about the 10" barrel Hunters when I was a kid in the 1930s. The six inch 9 shot 922 was the popular .22 pistol selling for about $7.50 with the 7 shot Trapper about 50 cents less. The 'better deal' was the 922 so the 7 shooters are more scarce.

To tell whether it is a 7 shot (Model 1906) or a 9 shot (Model 922) just look at the pictures that I posted links to of pieces in my collection. If you have any other questions or problems IDing you piece - please ask more questions.
