I plan to leave the factory cylinder as the .32 H&R Magnum which will probably do everything that needs to be done with a .32 pistol but not being able to leave well enough alone I called Jack Huntington this morning. He said if I can get hold of a Model 48 .22 Mag cylinder it can be rechambered to .327 Federal Magnum. The search is on for the cylinder

He said it had to be the mag cylinder. He told me why but it went over my head It’s the ejector star. All 48s have the thick ones. Many older 17s do too but you have to be careful….. That’s why he told you a 48….. |
