I have a Colt Peacmaker .22 LR and I am wondering if I can get a .22 mag. cylinder for it, and if there is such a thing for it.
And if so where can I get one and what would it require. And also how old is it?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Re: Colt Peacmaker .22 LR
the .22mag bullet is just a c-hair larger than the long rifle. Could have pressure issues. The barrel for my Ruger single six is magnum and the long rifle also not as accurate.

Re: Colt Peacmaker .22 LR
Did Colt ever make these in a convertible model such as the ones by Ruger or Heritage Arms. For around 200.00 or so you can get a Heritage 2 cyl revolver set.

Re: Colt Peacmaker .22 LR
Agreed. Has anyone priced Ruger Single Six revolvers lately? They are getting on up there.

I think I see most of them in the $450-500 range for used ones.bunkysdad wrote:Agreed. Has anyone priced Ruger Single Six revolvers lately? They are getting on up there.

Re: Colt Peacmaker .22 LR
Colt Peacemaker Scouts are my favorite of the Scout series and I have a couple with both cylinders. These cylinders have to be fitted usually to insure proper function. I believe all Peacemaker Scouts have the larger .224 barrels so if you do find a Magnum cylinder you should be able to have a gunsmith fit it.
