Chances are if its got a .22Mag bbl with a .22Jet cylinder, then the previous owner already shot out the original, and had it replaced with a mag bbl. .22Jet's had lots of issue's with barrels/forcing cone's.

ldp4570 is correct. The Jet was infamous for cracking forcing cones and burning out barrels. Remember you are pushing alot of pressure through a .22 opening. Case set-back, locking up the cylinder was a common complaint. Overall, it was not a great success and thus was dropped by S&W.

All true, but they sure were fun!
