I have an S&W 640-1 357 Magnum revolver. I understand that S&W currently offers 640-xx having cylinders machined to function correctly with AND without ammunition in clips. Since my revolver is, for all practical purposes, identical with currently manufactured 640s - except without the lock - will Smith machine my cylinder to accept ammunition both ways?

I believe at least one gunsmith machines cylinders that way, but I prefer to have Smith do it to not void their willingness to do repair work if needed.

Ask them. The Performance Center number is

Might just be easier/cheaper to sell yours and buy a the one you want.

He said his was without the lock. Its a better made gun with no mim parts then.
