I got a nice looking TC barrel at a gun show a few months back from an individual (cash and carry). It was an odd (to me) .357 barrel with a rib and a flip up rear sight and elevation adjustable front sight. Guessing something for a silhouette guy but it has a screw in shot shell choke and is ported.
Well when I go to plunk a 357 mag into it, it falls into a hole much to big for a .357. Chamber cast reveals it has been reamed to 357-44 Bain&Davis. Interesting round but nobody even makes dies for it anymore. I guess I have a new paper weight until I stumble across the B&D dies someplace. Not worth investing a ton of money into.
I hate when things like this happen. I could have spent that $150 on something more useful.
