I remember having a made in Germany .22LR clone of the Colt's Frontier Scout (importer maybe FIE; it had a 'buffalo logo on the grips), might be same or similar to what you mention. I can say 'it worked', but was certainly only sorta can accurate at 20ish yds. and I wasnt sorry to trade it off long ago.

I have two of the full size .22's and this should probably be on a new thread but I'll address it here.  They are good shooting gun's that came in 5 1/2" barreled models only.  The frame's on these are aluminum, as is the cylinder with steel inserts for the chambers and the barrel is made the same; aluminum with a steel insert.  I'm not sure why they chose to make them this way but I assume to keep the weight down in this full size gun.  Therein lies the problem.  I have seen many of these where the ejector housing stud had pulled out of the aluminum.  One of mine was like this when I bought it enabling me to purchase it for $38.  Then I spent another $38 to have Marshall Chase retap and make me a new stud of larger diameter threads, then we locktited it in. The second one had a timing problem that was cured by new springs and a little bumping the metal back in on the bottom of the hand cut.  That had let the hand drop too low when the hammer was at rest binding the cylinder when you began to cock the action.  That gun cost me about $50.  As I said, they are both good shooting guns and I really enjoy them now, but they were not without fault when I bought them.  They also made a smaller frame .22 that was a Colt Scout copy.  I have not heard of any problems with that one other than occasionally the rear sight coming loose.  44 Man
 
This is mine with the worn black finish removed and the barrel cut to 4 3/4"

I've got a box of .38 Special + P's, would it be safe to shoot them in this pistol? How do the + P .38 Specials compare to the .357 mag?

I have a Herter's .44 Mag. at Huntington's now being reworked into a five-shot .458 x 1.33.

I had the barrel blank and empty cases, Jack loves new thing so the ball started rolling....

I have a 44 mag/44/40 and a 44 mag hawes western marshall and all three herters [44 mag, 401 power mag and 357 mag ] all are good guns . Had the combo drilled and tapped for scope mounts and hunt with it ever year some , kill lots of whitetails with it. Gave the plain 44 to my father in law . Saw my uncle shoot 2 1/2 to 3 inch groups off bench with scoped one at 100 yards, I was never that good but can keep them in kill zone of a deer .
