K22s

Once again, this seems to be an interesting project... at least for us enablers!
Gary, while I agree that you can sleeve the 6 chambers of the cylinder, I question whether it would be the best expenditure of time and funds on this project.
Glenncal1, the RP 32 is an I frame, so its cylinder would be too small for a K frame project like the one here.
Raljr1, paplinker and I have crossed paths here before. Just keep being an encourager since he’s on the edge of that precipice... just give him a nudge. . I haven’t actually compared the measurements of K-22 and K-38 cylinder but assume they would differ by only the depth of their rim recesses.

Just for the record and to stimulate more discussion, a couple of years before beginning my faux Model 16 project I found a listing for a NOS pre War 32 S&W L barrel for sale. I started planning a project similar to the one in the OP, or perhaps a 32 M&P. Unfortunately the barrel sold a couple of days before I moved on it. I guess it was meant for me to build the 16-3. Sometimes we have good Karma!

Nudge him? I was looking for a cylinder at the last gun show I attended, thinking to buy it and send it to him...I may find one yet....I am not an amateur enabler.
