project .327 mag update
Mentioned to my local gun shop / range looking for a trade-in K frame to build the next .327 from. Now have four center fires to chose from. First photo the latest purchase, an old 4 screw model 15 as in donor class condition (cost $275) most likely the one.
Have a bunch of 6" M-17 barrels already converted, plus two 4" Model 18s and a 6" M-53 jet mag out being done now.
On the cylinder using the "jet" barrel choices are, either have my M-16's cylinder do double duty on both guns or have the "jet" barrel cut back to the shorter cylinder. I do have the spare M-53 L.R. long cylinder, being it's in the $800 range, that's not happening.
As it seems late model 16's are going for in the $1,500 range interested in what this alternative project will tally. So far so good. Thanks to those here for needed guidance!
