I'm inclined to agree with you but I have read on the smith and Wesson forums that some people have ordered a replacement cylinder from brownells and had luck with a drop in fit on the 686. One person even claimed they replaced a 6 shot cylinder with a 7 shot and it timed correctly. I don't believe everything I read on the interwebs though. Maybe someone can speak from personal experience when it comes to the 686.Be aware that a new cylinder will need to be fitted - they aren't interchangeable and fitting is not really a do-it-yourself thing.

Why would one need a replacement cylinder? Please share.

New to reloading perhaps? I knew a guy at the range who bashfully asked where he could find a new cylinder for his Ruger after a reloading blunder. Thankfully he wasn't hurt. I thought Rugers were indestructible up until that point haha
Ever hear the phrase"fix it till broke"?
Maybe the trunk money hid it when it was disassembled for cleaning.
