Steelslaver,

David Sams, the gunsmith who just built my K-32 homage said it would have been about the same amount of work to make the barrel from a blank, since he does that all the time for the PPC revolvers he builds. If I hadn't had this barrel "fall in my lap" and if I still wanted a 32 S&W Long revolver on a K-frame, I think that's what I would have done. BTW, Jebus35745 had Andy Horvath build this type of gun for him a couple of years ago and seems to really like it.

I'm not sure I would spend a whole lot of time searching for a cylinder if Hamilton Bowen has gotten his back in production, he made blanks with the chambers just drilled as pilot holes. Again, if it weren't an homage like I was attempting, I wouldn't waste much time and effort chasing an either original K-22 cylinder or barrel to rebore since it wouldn't be original anyway.
