When I bought this Manurhin model MR88 it came with a Baughman style front sight. I had problems seeing the front sight so I bought a Patridge front sight and with the assistance of a friend who has a machine shop in his garage we got the new sight installed.

Good job on the sight. But, tell us about the revolver?
I've been right tempted to take a chance on one, being
fond of both stainless, and Ruger guns. However, I know
this is somehow different from Ruger inside.

IF you can tell, do you think the chambers are long enough to be reamed out to .357?

Nice addition to the gun, makes it look nicer. Is the barrel Ruger, the Manurhin barrels are known for accuracy. Have the MR73 in .357 and .32 long, enjoy shooting both. Larry

VICTORLOUIS: The gun reminds me of a Ruger Security Six. The big difference between the Ruger and the Manurhin is the fire control. Each gun uses a coil main spring. The Ruger fire control is removed from the frame through the bottom of the frame, the Manurhin has a side plate to access and remove fire control group.
The grip and the trigger feel like a Ruger.
Ruger has a long history of suppling the French with firearms so Ruger must have been involved with manufacturing the model 88.
There is a step in the cylinder that restricts use to 38 special.
2 photos shows how far a 357 158 grain roundnose will fit.

Essentially a Speed Six with a side plate instead of a solid frame. Ruger and Manurhin partnered for a while. I believe Ruger supplied frames and some other parts for a pistol that was final assembled my Manurhin. Police Special I think they called it. Manurhin eventually went their own way and came up with MR88.

I have one, really like it especially the Trausch grips. They turn up on GB fairly regularly.

TM, thanks for the neat photos. It 'looks' like it could be done.
