Actually,
The Kit gun I'd really like to own, would be a 4" stainless in 22 magnum. Dat's one for my "someday" list!
Anybody have one?

RJM had 2 4" M63s a couple years ago. I think he got them from a gun shop that went out of business on the east coast. I want to say Connecticut, but don't hold me to it. In any case the gun smith had 2 .22WMR cylinders with ejector stars with the idea of fitting them to the M63s, but never got around to it. Bob sold one set to me and still has his. All I had to do is buy an ejector rod assembly and screw it together.
Well... not quite that easy. The new cylinder wouldn't lock up. So off it went to John Baker here in Salem. (I highly recommend him)

I shoot more .22lr through it then .22WMR, but I've shot it enough to know it works well.
So it can be done, the trick is to come up with the cylinder and ejector star. Maybe you could call the Performance Center at S&W and see if they would add the cylinder for you. I don't think they will sell you one as a do it yourself project.
