Now, if I could only find that 4" Python barrel, Mill the 3rd frame for sights. fit a blued model 19 recessed cylinder and a ball lock on the yoke. I could have a 4" 357 Smolt for les than $300

This opens up one of the problems I am having. Making something interesting but using expensive and valuable parts. I am afraid that installing the expensive parts and making a custom will have less value as a whole than the parts would be.
I was considering making a 4" fixed sight 22 jet or maybe a 3" fixed sight 22Hornet K-Chuk style. If I used the orginal jet parts the gun wont have much value but the parts will be used up.
I am leaning toward making a 357 2 1/2" fixed sight, nice carry gun, less expensive parts.
I keep going round and round with this...
Heres what I did with one of them, not done yet. It will get a rail and a Ceracoat type finish or some sort. It does shoot well so far, I gave it a try...
