Endshake Shims — S&W K/L/N Frame Revolver

Description

Endshake Shims — S&W K/L/N Frame Revolver

Endshake shims for S&W K, L, and N frame revolvers, used to take fore-and-aft play out of the cylinder. Endshake is the small back-and-forth movement of the cylinder on the yoke, and as a revolver wears it can grow enough to affect timing and headspace. These thin shims fit on the yoke to take that play back out and bring the cylinder back to proper endshake, restoring tight lockup and correct headspace.

Why it matters: too much endshake is more than a feel problem. It can increase headspace, hurt accuracy, and over time it lets the cylinder batter back and forth under recoil. Shimming the endshake back into spec is the standard, proven fix and brings the gun back to how it should run.

Who it is for: anyone whose cylinder has developed noticeable fore-and-aft play, and gunsmiths or experienced builders refreshing a high-mileage S&W.

Key Features

• Removes fore-and-aft cylinder play (endshake)
• Restores correct headspace and tight lockup
• Thin shims to dial in the fit
• For S&W K, L, and N frame revolvers

Installation note: setting endshake means removing the cylinder and yoke and checking your gap with a feeler gauge, so this is a job for someone comfortable inside an S&W or for your gunsmith. Add only enough shim to bring endshake into spec without binding.
