FA 353.. All that meat and no powder capacity... Think Gary Reeder would make a 356 GNR out of one? I'll ask the question.... Come over and see what he says. www.reedercustomguns.net/forum/ |

I’m sure he does. I have a 2 cylinder 627 in 357/356GNR, and he is building me a 356GNR cylinder for a SS Blackhawk 357 Bisley.
I wanted two cylinders so I can have kids and gun shy people to be able to shoot light 38’s also, as a great starter gun.

Someday I'd like to have a 353. There's one local to me, but it's got a short (6-inch) barrel. I've always thought an extra cylinder in 357B&D or 360DW would be pretty cool. Maybe all three... for ballistic investigations and whatnot...

I wish the FA 97 357 was offered as a 5 shooter for these conversions. 357 B&D would be great out if that little gun.

AS IT IS, WITH THE HIGH VELOCITIES YOU CAN GET OUT OF A STOCK 353, YOU MAY BE EXCEEDING THE VELOCITIES MANY 357 BULLETS CAN TOLERATE IN A REVOLVER. IF YOU WANT MORE THAN 353 VELOCITIES MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BULLETS THAT CAN WITHSTAND THE HIGH PRESSURES AND THE TRIP FROM CHAMBER TO AND INTO THE BARREL, AND WON'T BE CAUSING THROAT ISSUES.

Maybe all three... for ballistic investigations and whatnot... Mine is a 6" and it can show some impressive numbers. I tend to shoot only 170+ grain bullets. While the other FA83 357 I have access to is a 7.5", my 6" gets real close velocity wise. Accuracy is a wash as they're both better than good. I like the idea of a 360DW cylinder but the 357 in an 83 is pretty awesome as it is. |

Hard time understanding his layout, did he answer?

Gary says, "YES!" So I'm thinking... used 353 at the shop... 356GNR die set on the shelf.... Looks like one of those "Stars have aligned" moments. Gary's price list says $300 for the rechamber...
