Folks I know there are a couple of levers made specifically for 38 special(usually expensive uberits etc I think), but saying I had a regular 357/38 like a Rossi 92, is it possible for a gunsmith( and I am not one), to drop it back to 38 special length only?
The reason for this would be if I wanted to set the gun up for low power shooting only, improve loading density, 'maybe' improve accuracy being you wouldn't be firing 38 special in the slightly longer chamber. Or would this be a total waste of time(probably yes).
While I am thinking about, are there even shorter versions of the 38 case I could rechamber to and still be able to get a good gunsmith to feed? Any slightly shoter wildcats or early versions of the calibre? I know when you put 44 russian in a 44 lever its not going to feed of course. But is there another version of 38 not too drastically shorter than 38 special?
Its raining here and I can't get out and shoot for the weekend. These are the sort of questions that will occur.
