Alrighty I'm getting ready to give my gunsmith a new headache. My plan is to build a .32 H&R magnum S&W model 10 Pencil barrel. No real purpose I just love the old Model 10's and I love the cartridge.
Problem is the barrel, I need to find a way to shrink it from .38 to .32, soaking it in hot water didn't work, using a Redman's barrel liner won't work(according to Redman's and my Smith) Trying to find an old .32 barrel in good shape is proving to be difficult. Any Ideas from the real experts?
In all fairness I could just hand it all over to the smith and wait on the bill but I like helping and finding solutions so he can concentrate on the work.
Input is appreciated
