I have been looking for an affordable .22 revolver for a long time.. I can't believe how much they bring used.. Anyway I scored this off GB for around $150 shipped. I just picked it up from the FFL today and I am super psyched, it's even nicer in person !! Can't wait to have some fun with it !!
Does anyone know if I can get a .22mag cylinder for this one ??

Nice, but WTF is it?

I am pretty sure they are made by Weihrauch in Germany. They also sell pistols under the Arminius name.

Re: Finally found a .22 revolver
If you cannot find a magnum cylinder for it try to locate a gunsmith with the tools to convert a standard cylinder. My dad had that done many years ago and the conversion worked like a champ.

Re: Finally found a .22 revolver
Awesome pistol! I'm sure it is a blast to shoot! 
Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown
1943 Izhevsk
1937 Izhevsk
1935/48/50 Tula (hex)
1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms

Re: Finally found a .22 revolver
I would do some more checking before I put magnums through it. A lot of those German revolvers have a cast frame with a sleeved barrel.
FREEDOM...USE IT OR LOSE IT!!

Re: Finally found a .22 revolver
From the outside the revolver looks just like any other revolver. Look at the muzzle and you can see what looks like what it is. A sleeve pressed in to a cast exterior frame. Think about the cap guns you used to play with that somebody put a steel tube in the barrel.Gsragtop wrote:I was wondering about that, what am I looking for??Longcolt44 wrote:I would do some more checking before I put magnums through it.

Re: Finally found a .22 revolver
This is a pic from the auction, maybe it will help.. It looks solid to me??
What about the frame how can I tell if its cast ??
I can tell you that someone dry fired it a bunch of times, so much so it would not chamber a round., had to take it to a gunsmith and have the cylinder bores reamed out.. The seller (a pawn shop) said they will make me whole on the cost of repair.. Let's hope.

Re: Finally found a .22 revolver
Touch a magnet to the frame. I think it is possible that these pistols have a zinc frame. The barrel will be steel, along with the cylinder.
