We should note that this frame could only shoot centerfire cartridges, unless the barrels were chambered (or sleeved) to .22 eccentrically (unlikely, right?)
I thought that eccentric bores at the breech end was the way the .22 single shot barrels were made, so they could be used on what started out as a .38 frame.
Henry Stebbins described having a 10" shortened to 7" and seeing the muzzle come out slightly off center.
