I HAVE A 6" BLUE 22lr DIAMONDBACK BARREL ON THE WAY. WHEN I GET IT I WILL MEASURE IT AND A K FRAME BARREL (THE BARREL STUB/SHANK). I HAVE A DONOR MODEL 14, SOME POSSIBLE DONOR K FRAME 22 CAL CYLINDERS AND AM FANTASIZING ABOUT A 22 CF AND A 32 CAL K FRAME/DIAMONDBACK HYBRID. OR I COULD USE MY 1960's FIXED SIGHT 32 (S&W LONG) POLICE POSITIVE SPECIAL AS A DONOR GUN AND MAYBE END UP WITH A 32 H&R MAG DIAMONDBACK OR SOMETHING. THE DIAMONDBACK AND POLICE POSITIVE SPECIAL ARE THE SAME BASIC GUNS.

I HAVE HAD SOME INITIAL TEXTS WITH JRH BUT I DO NOT WANT TO CALL HIM AND DISCUSS IT BY PHONE UNTIL I HAVE THE BARREL IN HAND.

GOT THE 22lr DIAMONDBACK BARREL, THE THREADED PART OF THE BARREL STUB/SHANK IS SLIGHTLY LARGER IN DIAMETER THAN THAT ON A 22 JET BARREL BUT THE OAL OF THE STUB/SHANK IS NOT AS LONG AS THE THAT OF THE 22 JET BARREL. NEED TO TALK TO JRH.
