Nice idea on the pencil barrel, the Last Standing Knight. There was another Bowen built from a 520 for sale on this forum about two weeks ago that fit that bill. I've attached a photo of the revolver, which wasn't easy due to the drool on my keypad.
Has anyone converted a model 22-4 to 45colt? Granted, it has the lock, frame mounted firing pin, and MIM parts, but it's already got the tapered barrel, fixed rear and half-moon front sights, square-butt, and 4 screw frame. You'd have to install a new cylinder and shave the forcing cone down to accommodate the 45colt cylinder, but I love the 22-4. Just don't love the moon clips. They're fine for the range, but when I carry the 22 it's hard put a few extra full moon clips in my pocket. Half-moons work better, but loose cartridges or a speed strip are my preference.
