I have some Stainless GP100 357 parts for sale. Trigger group, Hogue grip, hammer, hammer pin and hammer spring. cylinder and crane and 6" barrel and rear sight. The story here is that all parts except barrel came from same gun. I swapped barrels on my gun because some unethical gunowner sold me a gun that had a squib load lodged in the barrel and another fired behind it (my best guess). He had mentioned when I bought it that he had been trying some real slow reloads but he did not disclose this fact and would not refund the money. I bought the other parts using only the barrel. There is a measurable .007"- .008", 3/4"-1" long swell just ahead of where barrel screwed into frame. .004 on either both sides of barrel (wouldn't take much to to sand/file down .004"). I didn't find any measureable swell from top of rib to bottom of barrel. It didn't affect the accuracy that I could tell and I didn't realize the barrel was bulged until I had ran a Lewis lead remover down the barrel after shooting it. I sent the gun back to Ruger for a factory replacement but they wanted to charge me $380+ so I did it myself. I was thinking that with the cylinder and barrel this might be a good candidate for a 40 S&w / 10mm switch barrel gun conversion or a parts kit for someone looking to tinker with their GP. I know some of the custom gunsmiths convert these to 40 cal /10mm and with an extra barrel it seems like a switch barrel gun would be pretty slick with the ability to swap calibers. I envision a setup using a snug fit barrel secured with a barrel pin like early S&W revolvers. asking $125 for listed parts
