Most of it is there - shouldn't be too tough to restore and enjoy.

That is from bar stock, I posted a request for anyone with prints but nothing could be found, this is from a section view enlarged to the proper size and then looking at e-bay to see what the internals looked like, where there’s a will etc.

I was just interested by what you started with. The chambering is more like asking the girl you just met about her hobbies!

Impressive, looks really good. One question, don't see any screws for the lifter or the cartridge guides, how did you manage to attach them?

That’s on the agenda, need the mag tube and spring first, need to walk away from it for a while as it has been a challenge, old age kicking in, lol.

Yes, but my ammo supply is heavily weighted in that area!

Amazing work!
I’d leave it in .38 Special- because it is Special.
Bunches of .357 92s out there already, anyway.
