Yes, there are post war Kit Guns built on the Transitional pure post war I frame with leaf springs. HFTs are reported but no one has seen one, however I have seen 6" barrels for them in the proper post war serial range w/o notch under the barrel for pre war "barrel" shaped ejector rod knob.
The 22/32 Kits Guns are unique in that they did not go thru the normal evolution of 1950s I frames. From the transitional pure post war they jumped straight to the New Model of 1953 skipping the Improved post war I frame variation. Check my I Frame Evolution for more detail.
