I have long been allured by the look of the 3-1/2" M27 revolver. I own a "no dash" M28. Recently I have found a 3-1/2" M27-2 BARREL ONLY for sale. The barrel is NICKEL gosh darn it!
So.....for conversations sake and disregarding the fact that dismantling a "no dash" in fairly good shape might not be a bright move........
-how difficult would it be to remove the nickel, say bead blast and reblue?
-would the M27-2 barrel screw on w/o much issue if done by a competent 'smith
-would matching an ejector rod to the barrel swap be an issue, ie could a donor rod be located from another N-frame and modified
-would it be cheaper just to locate and buy a 3-1/2" gun
Seems like I started a thread like this sometime back, but danged if I can find it.
