K or L Frame 327 Fed Mag ?

[needsmostuff]

Ya, I know and now they want over $2000 for one if you can find one.

Yikes !!! I had no idea they have gone there to that extent.
Now you got me giving the stink eye to that one and its 032 sibling.

An "N" frame in 327Federal Magnum would be the bee's knees.
If eight 357 fit in the cylinder I bet at least nine 327s would fit.

You can get a 16-4 rated to .327 easily. Me? I had a custom 616 built up from a 66 no dash by Bowen, as have a few others. Perfection.

 

[steelslaver]

Here are my 2 new K frame 327 Federals
A 6" adjustable sight gun. That I did a built thread on in the Gun Smith section

and a 3" fixed, Build in a similar fashion

I would very much like a .327 Mag. in a stainless-steel J frame w/ 3 inch barrel, Novak rear, green tritium insert front sight, smooth trigger, standard hammer, round butt. Would like it just as well in stainless-steel k-frame. Seven shot if possible. About a .04 BC gap. Nice cleanly cut throat. No muzzle break. No threaded muzzle. No video display. No heads up. Just a plain, old, regular, handy dandy revolver. Sincerely. bruce.

I have one. It's called a GP100, but only 7 holes in the cylinder. Trouble is, the trigger is nowhere near as nice as my S&W N frame. I changed the springs to one size lighter, but it's still not as smooth.

A .327 N frame? That's crazy, mike.

Uhhh . . . okay, yeah, I'd probably buy one.

 

[series guy]

I too would be all over an N Frame.

 

[Gamecock]

Actchewwooly, I don't care what frame. A nice blued, 6" S&W in .327 would be delightful.

 

[LostintheOzone]

I can't see S&W building another J frame for a 32 anything again. The last one didn't sell that well. Although if they were available I would buy one. What I would really like to see is a K frame 327 or even 32 H&R like the model 16, preferably 4".

I really like 32's in just about any length but most new gun buyers want revolvers in 38 something or other.

I've threatened to buy a model 16 a few times but just can't get over the price.

 

[Dieseltech56]

I would have one made before waiting for S&W to make one

Model 66 prelock frame. 617 or 648 barrel rebored, 617 or 648 6 shot cylinder rechambered.

A 2 1/2" scandium J frame, for $1000 Alex.

A 4" or 6" steel K frame for around $800

I have a 16-4 4" that I reamed a 22 lr cylinder to 327 for. I have way more than $800 in it. About double that.

I have little interest in 8 shot anything. My brain is locke up on 6 shots. I never leave an unfired round in a 6 shot gun. I sometimes get a click with my 5 shooters.

6 inch K frame with no blankety blank lock and a 6 shot. Don't want a 7 or 8 shot revolver. If I want that many rounds I'll go with a semi-auto.

 

[bgrafsr]

My 16-4 reamed to .327 Fed. Mag, and cylinders for .32-20WCF and .32 Long.

 

[cherrypointmarine]

I don't know if I'd want a 327Fed in a J frame . My Ruger SP101 in 327Fed is about as small as I want to go . I would think there's enough interest for them that S&W would produce something in that caliber . There's 2 631-1's for sale right now , one's a power port . The power port is running about $600 less than the other one , anybody know why ?

 

[mfholmes]

Yes, let S&W know

I emailed S&W last month asking them to build a K or L frame chambered in 327 Magnum, I said 3 inch simular to 686 or 66. Round butt doesn't have to be ported. They emailed back and said "Your comments are being forwarded to the Marketing Department and appropriate Management Team for review and consideration for future production." Maybe if they heard from enough customers they may build it.

As RevolverP320 said keep hounding S&W. I have also been waiting for a new J or K frame to come back in 327 Federal Mag. I have frequently been in on the bidding for a model 632 on GB only to quit in frustration as the price heads north. Even the 632 isn't ideal, though. The SA/DA model with the "power port" is an abomination, and if I ever did actually have a winning bid I would send it to my gun smith to trim the barrel down past the port. Too much flash and noise for that little frame. Personally I would love a 3" K frame. Keep sending your requests to S&W, and someday they might get the idea. email to: [email protected], or good old snail mail to: Smith & Wesson

I went the Model 66 route, rebored 617 barrel and cylinder.

 

[Tom K]

I'm a long barrel kind of guy. I had Andy Horvath put together this 8-3/8" .327 for me. The seldom-seen 8-3/8" K32

Considering that a new K or L frame would have the ugly frame profile caused by making room for the lock, I doubt I would be in the market for one.

 

[mod34]

I'd be happy if they would just bring back the 3" J-frame with adjustable sights so one wouldn't have to pay the $1500+ they are now bringing...

Ruger will be bringing out the LCCRX3" in 9mm and .327 Federal as soon as things settle down...if they ever do... They had a 4" GP100 that I had one of and sold to a friend...was a real nice shooting gun. They never did bring out a 3" fixed sight version...

I know this isn't a Ruger thread, but I think that my SP101, 4" .327 is really comfortable - perhaps a bit heavy, but love it!

 

[Tubbsy]

I'd definitely buy one, love my lcr. .327's are a bit stout if you're not ready for it, but .32h&r is a pleasure.

 

[Jebus35745]

Have a 3” full lug .327 in project stage. I round butted it and had the frame welded so the frame & barrel flow together. Lost ambition but it looks good. Will probably have it finished in Metallife for durability, Andy Horvath cut the barrel and added a Weigand interchangeable front sight base. He also reamed and fit the cylinder. We love our .32’s, don’t we. Larry
