He bored the cylinder and barrel and all I had to do was screw the barrel on and reinstall the cylinder. It was a beast to shoot with the pencil .357 barrel. It was accurate but the pistol was too light to shoot comfortably. When Smith & Wesson started to produce 25-5s I bought one and sold off the conversion.
