I’ve got a VICTORY model .38 from S&W by way of England. While there it was converted to .22Long Rifle. New barrel, sleeved cylinders, modified hammer, adjustable sights. covered all over with British proof marks. ONE of some 300 made I have heard.
Then some idiot here in the USA attempted to blue it before I got it.
Now if I could find some .22 shells....

Cool. I have a Swedish Nagant that was converted to .22 RF. I picked it up at a gun show for $75. Decent shape, shoots ok, but a quite loud report. I think the barrel/cylinder gap may be a bit oversized.
