    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... |
