Froggie...IF one could find a Jet barrel and .22 Rimfire cylinder then yes, it would drop right into a 19 frame... The last Model 53 cylinder I saw for sale was on ebay about three years ago...and it went for $800.00...
Last year I was surfing the completed auctions on GunBroker and saw where I had missed a 1961 4" Model 53 that only had the .22 Rimfire cylinder....and it went for ....$800.00... I would have sent that right down to Jack Huntington and I'd have a pair of .327s...the ones S&W should have made.
