I will know later today if all gun sales are shut down here in the state or if there is a two month extension of a complete judicial stay until it is fully litigated. IF it is at least delayed at lest two months, I may have time to find and purchase one more revolver to use for a little custom project.
Since I am not very well versed in the DA world I thought I’d ask you guys for some ideas in what to look for. I want to do a DA 41 Special that utilizes a thin Model 520 barrel I had Al Siegrist rebore from 357 to 41. Fixed sights, possibly round butt grip frame and maybe the rear sights will be of a combat style. I know S&W made fixed sighted guns slightly smaller than the N frame. I would not be too opposed to a smaller framed gun as long as my N frame barrel will work. I’m also not opposed to going with an older fixed sighted N frame gun along the lines of the older Heavy Duty guns.
Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.
Robb

Well I just saw on the news that the 10 round limit on mags goes into effect on Thursday but the permit to purchase part is on hold for thirty days so I’ll need to find a base gun pretty quickly or edit until I move to secure something.

You must be in Illinois, or the same thing is happening here, unfortunately

Good luck Robb. Don’t leave ND off your list of potential destinations; no firearms issues here.

I am going to look at SD this spring since it is closer to my kids in CO. Not sure the winters of ND are what I want to head to Malcolm.

Thank you JT, I just bid on a finish worn 581! To be clear here…. The barrel is off an L frame gun, right? There is a S&W 520 that is like a M58 built on an N frame.

You must be in Illinois, or the same thing is happening here, unfortunately Il is now trying to ban all semi autos, they say you must register them or be confiscated. Just another way of saying we are taking your guns. If they do not approve your registration ( for any reason) you loose them. This is jus a proposed bill as of now but won’t be long

The D-I-L said the Rapid City area and SW corner in general is very nice. I’m looking forward to visiting this spring.

I know you're sounding like a S&W is in order, but will that barrel work with a rethread or??? on a GP-100??? my Clemments built 10mm Rimmed is one of my favorites... I was able to put a compact factory Grip on mine ( it's an SP grip, factory molded on the inside to fit the GP's ) Zane did some custom Rams Horn inserts... my base gun, was a stainless 357 & had adjustable sights, but think the GP was available blued & with fixed sights
