For whatever reason, I was thinking Colt New Service which *should* be long enough but then I was also underestimating the COAL of the Jet as well.

1917 cylinders were a bit short. (reply)

I'm betting that's why. Looks like really nice work on somebody's part.

That's what I see too Mark. (reply)

The extended sleeves could be for two reasons, the round it is chambered for needs the extra length, or they wanted the barrel shank fully enclosed by the frame for more support. My guess is more likely the former.

Very interesting... (reply)

I am thinking his starting price is a bit on the high side for a parts gun, but it does look like it could be quite fun to play with.

Truly different, I'll bet its history would be interesting.

And that's all I'm gonna say about it.
