Any Small Bore Revolvers?

[nkbj]

Over the years I've heard about people having small bore percussion target shooting revolvers but I've never seen one or heard about how they were created. Any of you fellas know of such?

31 calibre is pretty small.

A long time ago a friend built one, mostly just to see what he could do (he'd just retired and was going stir crazy). He took a Remington target pistol, lined the barrel and cylinder to a nominal .32 (the bore liner was actually a piece of .303 Brit barrel), and did some other minor work. As I recall, the biggest problem he had was getting the loading lever to work, so he just used a press to load the cylinder.

More trouble than it was worth, but it made a neat range gun.

31 is small enough for me, I don't want to mess with little .22 bullets and round balls for some oddball plinker

Some days .36 feels tiny, those little .375 balls are basically Buckshot . They're awesome target revolvers though. They're the grandaddy of the .38 Special bullseye revolver
