You're welcome. Don't feel alone, we've all been there, done that.

Hondo44 said:Funny, yes. There's just no explaining what can "blow our skirt up" sometimes! Maybe it's the uniqueness of the different configuration? I gave up trying to understand why I like some things anymore. If I like it and want it, I just go with the flow and buy it (or make it).

While the cylinder is a bit larger, which gives thicker chamber walls, than a Ruger Single Six, I'm not 100% sure about the safety of the conversion. I know that Single Sixes have been converted to .327 safely, but I'm still on the wall about the Model P Jr. I may just try some upper end .32 Magnum loads, using .327 brass. If I doubt the wisdom of using .327 factory ammo, I can always get another cylinder or just leave the .32-20 cylinder installed. I won't sell it, but I don't want an heir getting hurt.
The 2nd cylinder is a S&W M16-4. I have a 6" .22 Jet barrel that has been bored and re-rifled to .32 and I also have a M15 that is fixin' to see some changes.

I wouldn't worry about the 327 in the model P jr. Even if it fails it won't be catastrophic.
The 327 mod 15 project is cool. The only difficulty is the shroud on the rebored 22 jet to 32 barrel; the barrel shroud will overhang the front face of the frame. A model 19 frame will work however.

If you're right eye dominant and shoot with both eyes open, close your right eye. Bench rest and shoot left handed when you get the chance to see how well the 22 mag will do.
