??? SB1 .357 ???
« on: January 11, 2011, 10:25:16 AM »
Can a SB1 receiver be fitted with a .357mag barrel? ??? I have been reading conflicting information on this.
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.


Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.


In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

  Do you mean by the factory?

   It can be by the factory if it's not too old.

They didn't use to prior to 2008, but have been fitting 357 and 44 mag barrels to SB1 frames, they also have been selling them that way, if you look at the model number of any factory 357 or 44 mag made since 2008, it has an SB1- model number, prior to that they were SB2.

Hmm... I may do that instead of getting a rifled slug barrel. That way I wouldn't have to add yet another caliber to my list.
