S&W N frame parts

[buckaroo45]

Anybody know what parts, besides the cylinder and hand, are interchangable between a 625 and a 627?

Everything except the cylinder. The threaded hole for the barrel is .030 higher on a 627 than on any other N frame so you can't use the 627 frame to make something else and you can't use a 625 or 629 etc. frame to make a 627. The barrel and cylinder would be way out of alignment vertically. The hand for the 8 shot is a little different than the hand for a 6 shot.

So would it be possible to convert a 629 to a 625?

Yep - That's just a barrel and cylinder swap.
