I am trying to find out what revolver this cylinder is made for. It is a 7-shot .22lr. It has no markings on it. Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you!

    Hello!
    Can anyone I.D. this cylinder. It is marked "455" on the rear face, and the rear chamber diameter is .4795". Is it a 455 Webley, and what revolver would it fit?
    Thank you!

    Can anyone I.D. this cylinder? It is a 6-shot .22 LR. It has a groove that appears that the cylinder stop rides in it continuously. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Hello!
    I have a cylinder that has a British and a German proof mark on it, plus an inspector's stamp on the face. Can anyone tell me what type of revolver that this cylinder fits?
    Thank You!

    He needs to left click on the "direct" box of the share links after clicking on the pic in the album. Then come here use the 4th from right icon, put the curser in between the curser in here then right click then select paste, followed by hitting enter.

    added if you click on the link in this thread http://forums.GunBroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=653842

    it goes to a photobucket page. Left click on either the "Direct" box or the box to the right it will auto copy the address so that you can paste it in between the generated using the 4th icon.  Left click on 4th from right icon.  Place cursor in between theleft click to set it there, then right click, click on paste.capandball%20002.jpg

    Gentlemen,
    I have followed your instructions to the letter on how to post pictures. This is the only website that I've ever had a problem posting pics. I use Photobucket, I left-click on the "direct" option, hit your "insert image" icon, put the cursor between the 2 [img][/img], and paste.
    When I go to preview the pictures,they are not there. The only way I can get pics posted to this website is to left click on "image" on Photobucket and then follow your instructions as above. The pictures will be displayed, but always all the way to the right.
    What am I doing wrong?[?][?]
    Thanks!

    You're posting both the URL address and the image, pushing the image off to the right. Don't use the URL icon_editor_url.gif link. Just use the image icon icon_editor_image.gif and paste the image location between the brackets.

    Open the image icon and paste this between the brackets:
    http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/slummutt65/000_5253_zpsv1l9iamn.jpg

    This will be the result:

    Jim,
    I don't have a clue what it fits. That's why I posted the question.

    Went through my references couldn't find anything similar. The approach cut, to the bolt locking notch. Is very unique. It almost appears, as it was deliberately machined to be a cam surface? Don't recall, running into anything similar in the past?

    Webley automatic revolvers had something similar. Also there was another revolver whose name eludes me where the cylinder was forced to the forcing cone of the barrel to form a seal and prevent loss of gas through the cylindder gap.

    It's the Russian Nagant military revolver, your thinking of. It functions differently though. Has a cam that forces the cylinder forward, as the hammer is coming to full cock.

    All modern revolvers, use what is called a "hand" to actuate the cylinder. Rather than a cam surface machined in the cylinder. That uses the bolt mechanism riding in the cam surface. To index the cylinder.

    That why the OP's cylinder is so unusual. It seems to be from a recently made .22 revolver. But the cam type mechanism, went out of use many years ago?
