    So have a broke cylinder stop and trying to find info on gun so I can get the correct part. It’s a 38 special revolver, smith and Wesson, 4 screws on side plate and one more under trigger (5screw?) serial number 107xxx. Not sure of model. Any info would be great.

    Is this a J-frame? I'm leaning towards no. A pic would help. Per below 4 screw sideplate ended in 55, but the serial # would be 56.

    OK, that is stainless steel. Can we get a picture of the entire gun, both sides?
    Looks blued, faded and freckled but blued. Also note the taper of the barrel makes it a pencil or light versus heavy barrel. without busting out the S&W bible I'm guessing a pre model 10 K frame.

    Pre model 10. No adjustable rear sight, so not a k38. Smith started model numbers in 1954 and the dashes came later.

    Pic of the cylinder crane does look blued. First pic looks stainless from here to me. Eyes aren't what they once were.

    Pre-Model 10 would make sense.

    Also it had no firing pin block when I opened it. On some diagrams, and videos on you tube, when you open the side there is a piece running from above trigger to near hammer that is thin metal (firing pin block?) and that was not there.

    That gun was before hammer blocks.
    No pin on the rebound slide to drive a hammer block.

    you need to post serial number (stamped on bottom of butt_ and Including data on on top of barrel with patent dates.Full pictures of gun will halp.Round butt 1903 or square 1905 other info will be asked to verify what dash=engineering changes will be incorporated such as -1,2,3, 4 .or 5
    did not see your post handejectoir section of the S&W forum
    To set things straight they did not make stainless steel guns when this one was made
