Ran across another one in perfect condition. Bowen did this conversion on a M19-2, added a S&W M53 rebored to .32, cylinders are M18-4s rechambered to .327 Federal and .32-20 with recessed case heads, barrel correctly marked in old style script. Finally a nice set of Bighorn Magnas courtesy of Patrick Grasshorn. Huey had me going down the rabbit hole with the Clements .327 GP100 thing but I believe this will do. Nice guns seem to be getting easier and easier to find. This came with paperwork and all....again. I'm just thrilled with this one....

HOLY S...! WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS? DID YOU GET THE CUSTOM WORK DONE OR DID YOU GET IT THAT WAY? TOO BAD BOWEN DOESN'T WORK ON S&W's ANYMORE, I HAVE GOT THE PARTS TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR.

Wanna' hear sumthin' funny?
I don't know how to switch the cylinders.....
I imagine I'll probably mostly use the .327 but it would probably be a nice thing to know.
These double actions are so darned complikated.....

Remove the screw above the trigger guard on the right side by the "Made in USA" & open the cylinder & pull it out towards you...Do it in reverse to replace the cylinder.

These double actions are so darned complikated..... That’s best accomplished by a qualified and trained professional. Better send it to me before you put an eye out. That’s what happened to Steve Call you know...
