Anybody here have one? I picked one up for a steal. Had the 22 mag cylinder in it when I got it home I swapped it over the the 22lr. The 22lr cylinder has a little play to it. Not tons but it's there and definitely has more than the 22mag cylinder. This being my first wheel gun I don't know what the acceptable amount of play is, if any. So just wondering if anyone else has one and if so is it the same as mine?

Never heard of it.  The cylinder should not be able to move when the hammer is about to drop.  When it moves enough that the hole is no longer aligned with the barrel, and shaves off bits of the bullet, you have a problem that needs to be fixed.  Some revolvers have a little play (some by design, some by low quality control) when the hammer is down, and that is harmless, the internals will "catch up".
