Interarms Virginian Dragoon .22 convertible
« on: February 22, 2011, 03:46:08 PM »
Anybody have an Interarms Virginian Dragoon .22 convertible?  I think they were made by Uberti.  How did it shoot?  Is it reliable?  Do parts interchange with any of the Ubertis?

While I have not owned one, they have had a good reputation as a solid, reliable revolver.  So I would expect it to perform well.  As for part interchangeability, that's a definate 'maybe'.  But the 'important' parts, (those most likely to break, IF anything does break) the bolt and trigger spring, cylinder stop bolt, trigger, and pawl spring; those parts are usually pretty adaptable from one single action to another.  I have 'fitted' these parts across several different makes with success in the past.  I do not remember at this time just who made these fine revolvers, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if I found one I wanted.  Good luck with it.  44 Man

I don't think the VA Virginian .22 convertables were made by Uberti.  I think they were made by Hammerli just like the early centerfire handguns were.

They have Italian proof marks which suggest an Italian producer.  Uberti was the manufacture.
