Hello everyone...
A retired police officer friend of mine has recently acquired a minty 19-3 with a four inch barrel. He loves the gun and wants to eventually be able to pass it on to his son.
However, we live in Canada with bizarre gun laws. A four inch revolver produced after 1946 is considered prohibited here and can not be passed on to an heir who does not currently have a licence allowing him to acquire such a gun. Those special licences are no longer available. However, if it is re-barrelled to greater than 4.2 inches it can be reclassified as restricted and can be passed on. Stupid I know...but that's the way it is.
Anyway, does anyone know a source for a five or six inch barrel for the gun? We have tried the usual commercial gun part sources without luck.
Thank you,
Easy
